JAKARTA (Reuters) - A bomb blast killed four people late on Saturday at a cafe on Indonesia's Sulawesi island and wounded at least three others, police and hospital sources said.

It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the attack, the latest in a number of bombings to hit Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, in recent years.

In October 2002, bombs on Indonesia's premier tourist island of Bali killed 202 people, mostly foreign visitors, in what was the deadliest such incident since the September 11 attacks on the United States.

Saturday's bomb went off at a karaoke cafe at around 11 p.m. (1500 GMT) in South Sulawesi province's Palopo area, police said.

Asked whether a bomb had exploded, a police official in Palopo, who declined to be named, told Reuters by phone early on Sunday: "Yes, that's true."

He said the blast site was on the road to South Sulawesi's capital Makassar, which lies 1,400 km east of Jakarta.
