Indonesia temple blast protests violence against Myanmar Muslims
JAKARTA - A small bomb exploded at a Buddhist temple in Indonesia's
capital, slightly injuring three people, in protest against violence
against Rohingya Muslims in Buddhist-majority Myanmar, a government
official said.
The device was detonated late on Sunday at the
entrance of the Ekayana temple in West Jakarta as people were praying
inside, while another bomb failed to explode, police said.
The blast caused minor damage.
Indonesian
Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali said a note was found at the
site saying: "We hear the screams of the Rohingya."
Thousands of
Rohingyas flee Myanmar each year on rickety boats seeking refuge and
jobs in Muslim-majority Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia, but the number
has swelled since unrest in Myanmar last year that killed at least 167
people.
