Across Asia: Indonesia

Foreigners' home fired on

Gunfire hit the home of two US lecturers in Indonesia's western province of Aceh yesterday, but no one was injured. It is the third time this month foreigners have been targeted in Aceh, a poor province on Indonesia's westernmost tip. One of the two English teachers, Michelle Ahmed, told police she and her colleague had just woken up when they heard six shots outside their house.
