"Looting broke out near the Mardika market, and warnings shots were fired but the crowd appeared to be unfazed and the looting continued," a resident told AFP by telephone from Ambon. She said the incident took place around 1:15 pm (0415 GMT) and that the city's shops and businesses immediately closed and public transport disappeared from the streets. "It is once again a dead city, nobody is out on the streets again. I myself do not dare to go to the market today," the resident said. The Maluku province police could not be immediately contacted for confirmation. Ambon, the capital of Maluku province, was hit by at least five days of widespread unrest that started on January 19 following a dispute between a migrant Moslem and a Christian public transport driver. The dispute quickly degenerated into unrest opposing the city's Moslem and Christian communities. The unrest also spread to other islands within Maluku, leaving at least 65 dead and widespread destruction. Mardika market was burned during the initial rioting and a makeshift market had developed around it. bs/pch ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Didistribusikan tgl. 2 Feb 1999 jam 09:48:23 GMT+1 oleh: Indonesia Daily News Online <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.Indo-News.com/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
