Ambon - Two stabbed and tortured bodies were found yesterday in Indonesia's troubled island of Ambon, which remained tense after two days of bloody religious clashes, police said.

The bodies of a man and a woman, both Christians, were found in Air Kuning, 10 km west of the centre of Ambon city. The find brings the number of dead in violence in the area to 12 since Sunday. Clashes between Muslims and Christians have hit the eastern island for weeks.
