Indonesian police have arrested five people over an attack by a mob on Muslims protesting at a Christian school under construction in Karawang district near Jakata that left one dead, police said Sunday.
Police are currently questioning the five suspects at the Karawang district police headquarters, 50 kilometres (31 miles) outside the capital, an officer on duty there said.
The officer, who declined to give his name, said that the five were questioned over the attack on the Muslim protestors at the Yadika school in Cikampek Selatan, in the Cikampek subdistrict of Karawang on Friday.
He also declined to give more details of the suspects.
One of the participants of the protest organised by the Cikampek Muslim Movement, died in hospital after he was hit with a piece of wood on the head, police have said. Three other people were also injured.
The protestors had collapsed the fence of the school, burned pieces of wood and damaged the school building which was still under construction when a group of men suddenly attacked them.
The protestors had been demanding that the Christian foundation which owns the school halt construction of the school.
It was the latest attack on a Christian-related building in the past week.
A petrol bomb was hurled at a Roman Catholic church in the Sleman district of Yogyakarta, Central Java on Wednesday but caused no serious damage or casualties.
