Sniper kills one, injures three

INDONESIA: An unknown sniper shot dead one civilian and injured
three others on Galunggung-Galela street in the capital of strife-torn
Maluku province, Ambon, late Saturday.

Witnesses said the four were all passengers of ojek
(motorcycle taxis) and were reportedly passing by on the road at
around 8:15 p.m. local time.

One of the injured victims apparently fled from the scene
after the incident as there were only two injured who were
treated at the hospital.

Commander of the II Field Artillery Battalion Lt. Col. Broto
Guncahyo confirmed the incident and said the two injured were
rushed to nearby Indonesian Military (TNI) Hospital in Halong
area.

The fatality was identified as Yohanis while the injured were
Vera and Phillip. --JP
