Tsunami-wracked Indonesia rocked by earthquake
Indonesia was rocked by a powerful earthquake today that caused panic and damaged dozens of homes, as the government and Aceh’s rebels prepared for talks to help rebuild the tsunami-shattered province.
The epicentre of the 6.3-magnitude quake – far to the east of Aceh – was determined to be under the central part of Sulawesi island, said Suharjono, a seismologist in Jakarta. The pre-dawn quake did not create a tsunami.
