Thirteen killed in more Moluccan violence

There's been more violence on the Moluccan islands in Indonesia.

A report by the official news agency Antara said thirteen people were killed in the latest clashes between Muslims and Christians.

The Indonesian military has not confirmed this.

Meanwhile, security forces say they've seized more weapons and made several arrests in the capital Ambon, where hundreds of people were killed in sectarian violence over the past two weeks.

A regional military commander said the search for weapons in Ambon would continue, before moving on to other islands.

He said most of the weapons confiscated so far were home-made, including daggers, pipe bombs, spears and arrows.
