Indonesia is a moderate Muslim country. Terrorism is dying out there.
In other news, in May there were market blasts that killed 20 people and in October there were the beheadings of three Christian schoolgirls.
Today:
Suspected Islamic militants set off a powerful bomb packed with nails Saturday at a busy market frequented by Christians, killing eight people and wounding 45 as they bought pork for New Year's Eve celebrations.
The blast occurred in Palu on Sulawesi Island, which has been plagued in recent years by religious violence and terrorism by Islamic extremists.
These events are very rare though, so please nobody jump to conclusions about terrorists and Islam.
