Two Poso students shot by unidentified men

Two senior high school students in Poso were shot by unidentified
men at around 7 p.m. on Tuesday, more than a week after the
conflict-prone town was shocked by the beheadings of three
Christian schoolgirls.

The condition of the two 17-year-old
students, Ivon and Nuraini, who have been admitted to
Poso Kota General Hospital, has been described as critical. The
incident, the latest apparently aimed at reigniting conflict in
Poso, Central Sulawesi, came amid rumors that local security
authorities had arrested five men believed to be the perpetrators
of the Oct. 29 beheadings. -- JP
