Teen solves centuries-old math problem
JAKARTA, Jan. 1 (UPI) -- Explosions marred New Year celebrations in Indonesia where one man was injured and some property were damaged in bomb attacks on the first day of the year.
A grenade exploded in the capital, Jakarta, at dawn, injuring at least one person, police said.
Three homemade bombs were thrown at churches in Indonesia's central Sulawesi province where Muslim-Christian fighting has killed more than 1,000 people in the past three years.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of police patrolled Indonesia's main cities on New Year'S Eve to prevent fireworks accidents.
Traditionally, millions of people jam the streets of Jakarta, setting off deafening firecrackers.
Alarmed by the fire in Lima, Peru, which killed more than 300 people on Saturday, police in Indonesia decided not to allow uncontrolled fireworks display on New Year'S Eve.
They were helped by heavy rain that began Sunday night and continued pouring till early Tuesday, dampening the spirit of the fireworks enthusiasts.
