STORYLINE:
Riots and a mortar attack have followed the arrest of a leading Muslim militant in the troubled Indonesian city of Ambon.
According to witnesses, 19 mortar shells were lobbed into a Christian neighbourhood in Ambon on Saturday.
Eleven exploded, killing two Christians and injuring at least eight others.
It was unclear who fired the mortars.
The shells bore the mark of PT Pindad, a state-run munitions factory.
Tensions between Muslims and Christians in the city have increased markedly following news that the leader of a Muslim paramilitary group active in the region had been arrested.
Jafar Umar Thalib, leader of the Laskar Jihad group, is being held at police headquarters in Jakarta.
Police said that Thalib was suspected of inciting the recent upsurge in violence, specifically an attack that killed 13 Christians just over a week ago on the outskirts of Ambon.
Local Christian leaders have long accused Thalib and his followers of stirring up the bloodshed.
The paramilitary group enjoys strong support in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation.
It denies targeting Christians.
Fighting intensified in 2000 when armed Laskar Jihad fighters arrived in Maluku, also known as the Spice Islands.
The group has rejected a peace deal negotiated in February and is refusing to hand in its weapons.
Some analysts have accused Laskar Jihad of having links to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network, something that it and Indonesian officials deny.
