JAKARTA: Five people were killed and hundreds of houses were burned to the ground during an attack on three Christian villages in Indonesia's Central Sulawesi, sources told on Tuesday.
The villages were in the district of Poso, which has been seen more than two years of sectarian clashes between Muslims and Christians which have left between 500 and 1,000 dead, and tens of thousands homeless.
"Five people were killed in the attack on Silanca, Sepe and Batu Gencu on Monday," said Noldy Tako, of the Christian Crisis Center in the town of Tentena.
