Four die in Sulawesi floods

POSO, Central Sulawesi: Four people were killed in major
floods that swept through the province on Sunday, a press report
said yesterday.

The floods triggered by incessant rains also destroyed a
bridge connecting the Banggai and Poso regencies, cutting off the
land transportation between Poso and Luwuk.

Dozens of houses in the Balinggara district were inundated,
Antara reported.

The frame of the bridge built in 1982 was so badly damaged
that the local government will have to build a new one, public
works officials said. (pan)
