Police say clashes between supporters of rival candidates in upcoming local elections in eastern Indonesia have killed 17 people and injured dozens. Police spokesman Wachyono says hundreds of supporters of two rival groups clashed Sunday with rocks, bows and arrows outside the local parliament building in Puncak district in remote Papua province. Wachyono, who uses only one name, said the two groups began exchanging insults and the fight escalated as angry mobs set alight nearby houses and cars.
