Black-masked assailants armed with guns, grenades and daggers stormed a village in Indonesia's religiously divided Maluku province Sunday, killing 14 Christians.

The attackers went from house to house, shooting residents and setting fire to 30 homes and a Protestant church, witnesses said. They said six people were stabbed to death, including a 6-month-old child, six died in fires and two were believed to have been shot.

two armed men riding a motorcycle, carrying a military-style pistol shot at 6 youths playing a guitar and singing Christmas carols. Four of the bullets whizzed past in the dark narrowly missing four of the youths, while the other two of them were hit and wounded. “The Christians here fear for the safety of those who overnight in the Poso hospital,” said one Poso resident, adding that “there have been too many mysterious deaths of Christians in that hospital who only had minor wounds.”
