INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Indonesia: A suspected WWII-era bomb exploded beneath a stilt house in a fishing village in Biak, Papua; killing 5 and wounding nearly 20. Biak was the site of intense 1944 Allied-Japanese fighting; unexploded ordnance from that campaign still surfaces in the area more than 80 years later. Several homes were destroyed, and authorities have cordoned off the area over fears of secondary blasts.
