Južné Moluky: Korenie a terorizmus - Indonézia - PlaceMania
Za skorého ranného súmraku 2. decembra 1975 nastupuje skupina mužov do preplneného osobného vlaku. Každý z nich nesie podlhovastý balík v darčekovom papieri s motívom červených Santa Clausov a chlapcov v podkolienkach korčuľujúcich sa po kanáloch. Keď vlak prechádza dedinou Wijster, muži vytiahnu z balíkov zbrane a zatiahnu záchrannú brzdu. Vlak sa zastaví a zostane trčať v polovici cesty v poli. Útočníci okamžite zastrelia rušňovodiča. V nasledujúcich dňoch zabijú ďalších rukojemníkov, ktorých mŕtvoly potom vyhodia z vlaku a nechajú ich ležať na zemi. Spočiatku nie je jasné, čo únoscovia požadujú, ale postupne sa ukazuje, že celú operáciu zorganizovali, aby upozornili na prípad Južných Moluk.

Encyclopedic overview
The Maluku Islands (/məˈlʊkuː, -ˈluː-/ mə-LUU-koo, -LOO-; Indonesian: Kepulauan Maluku, IPA: [kəpuˈlawan maˈluku]) or the Moluccas (/məˈlʌkəz/ mə-LUK-əz; Dutch: Molukken [ˌmoːˈlʏkə(n)]) are an archipelago in the eastern part of Indonesia. Tectonically they are located on the Halmahera Plate within the Molucca Sea Collision Zone. Geographically located in West Melanesia, the Moluccas have been considered a geographical and cultural intersection of Asia and Oceania.
The islands were known as the Spice Islands because of the nutmeg, mace, and cloves that were exclusively found there, the presence of which sparked European colonial interests in the 16th century.
