— JAKARTA (Reuters) - Explosions ripped through a McDonald's restaurant and a car show room in the Indonesian city of Makassar on Thursday, killing one person and wounding several, the state-run Antara news agency reported.

The first explosion occurred at the McDonald's restaurant at a shopping center in the city on Sulawesi island in the early evening. The second blast occurred about two hours later in the show room at another shopping center.

The report did not say if the person killed had been at the McDonald's or the car show room and gave no other details.

There have been clashes, including bomb attacks, between Muslims and Christians on parts of Sulawesi and elsewhere in the sprawling, predominantly Muslim country in recent years.

Typical Reuterspeak. Translation: Muslims have been slaughtering Christians in Indonesia for years.
