PALU, Indonesia - October 17, 2006. An unidentified gunman killed a Christian priest Monday in central Indonesia, where religious tensions have been mounting since the executions last month of three Roman Catholic militants.

The gunman sped off on a motorcycle with an accomplice, he said, adding that the motive of the attack was not yet clear.
