Death toll in Indonesian earthquake rises to 17, hundreds injured Copyright c 1997 Nando.net Copyright c 1997 Reuter Information Service JAKARTA (September 28, 1997 9:45 p.m. EDT nando.net) - The death toll in a strong earthquake that rocked Indonesia's South Sulawesi on Sunday has risen to at least 17, with another 331 injured, the official Antara news agency reported on Monday. Rescue teams and military personnel were sent to the affected areas to evacuate the dead and injured, many hurt in falling buildings. The quake struck around 9:38 a.m. on Sunday and was centered about 12 miles north of the town of Parepare, an official of the Jakarta office of the Meteorological and Geophysical Agency said. He said the quake measured 6.0 on the open-ended Richter scale. Antara reported a series of aftershocks following the main earthquake. It said reports from the area said 415 houses, 10 places of worship and 10 cars had been destroyed. Sulawesi, lying on the boundary of the Earth's tectonic plates, is frequently hit by earthquakes. Indonesia has been hit by disastrous forest fires which have sent a choking smog over large areas of Southeast Asia. On Friday, a Garuda Airbus crashed in north Sumatra at the other end of the Indonesian archipelago, killing at 234 people aboard. The same day, a cargo ship sank in the Strait of Malacca, between Sumatra and Malaysia, in an accident with oil tanker, leaving 28 crew and a two-year-old boy missing.
