The object, apparently an improvised explosive device, detonated at approximately 9:15 a.m., killing three of the Protestant passengers instantly, with another three dying of their wounds in the hospital;〔 they had been travelling from their predominantly Christian village of Sape to the nearby village of Tentenna.〔 The timing of the attack coincided with a busy period in the market to celebrate the Eid ul-Fitr festival that was to happen the following week.〔 The motive for the attack is unknown. Chief Security Minister Adi Sucipto described it as an act of terrorism, preceded by numerous others in the year prior to the attack that caused 25 deaths.〔 On 19 November 2004, two male suspects were arrested for the attacks〔 after a search for two men seen leaving the scene by motorcycle. Both were released without charge.〔 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2004 Poso bus bombing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
