At least 38 people have died in fresh bloodshed in the ravaged eastern Indonesian island of Ambon, ignoring government efforts to bring peace to a region once admired for its religious tolerance. The official Antara news agency said today the victims were from two days of clashes, which broke out after a 14-year-old Muslim boy was hit by a vehicle driven by a Christian in Ambon city.
