Small Blasts Mar Prayers for Wahid
From Times Wire Reports
Two small explosions occurred during an otherwise peaceful Islamic prayer rally in support of beleaguered Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid.
At least seven people were injured when two small glass bottles containing an undetermined chemical exploded within seconds of one another near a tightly guarded area filled with 30,000 Wahid supporters, police said.
There were no claims of responsibility for the attack at the rally in Jakarta, the capital. Parliament is expected to censure Wahid today and open the way for impeachment.
