Indonesia volcano spews colossal ash tower, alert level raised
JAKARTA: A volcano in eastern Indonesia spewed a colossal ash tower into the sky on Tuesday, authorities said, after they raised its alert level to the highest of a four-tiered system. Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki, a 1,584-metre-high twin-peaked volcano on the tourist island of Flores, erupted at 5:35 pm local time (0935 GMT), the volcanology agency said in a statement. 'The height of the eruption column was observed at approximately 10,000 metres above the summit. The ash column was observed to be grey with thick intensity,' it said, after the alert level was raised. There were no immediate reports of damages or casualties. Geology agency head Muhammad Wafid said residents and tourists should avoid carrying out any activities within at least seven kilometres of the volcano's crater. But he warned of the possibility of hazardous lahar floods –- a type of mud or debris flow of volcanic materials –- if heavy rain occurs, particularly for communities near to rivers. He also urged residents to wear face masks to protect themselves from volcanic ash. In November, Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki erupted multiple times killing nine people and forcing thousands to evacuate, as well as the cancellation of scores of international flights to Bali. There were no immediate reports of cancelled flights after Tuesday's eruption. Laki-Laki, which means man in Indonesian, is twinned with the calmer but taller 1,703-metre (5,587-foot) volcano named Perempuan, after the Indonesian word for woman. Indonesia, a vast archipelago nation, experiences frequent seismic and volcanic activity due to its position on the Pacific 'Ring of Fire'.

Bomb threat diverts plane of haj pilgrims in Indonesia
JAKARTA: A plane carrying hundreds of haj pilgrims back from Saudi Arabia was diverted in Indonesia on Tuesday after an email bomb threat was sent to authorities. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation said it received a report from Indonesia's airport operator "regarding a bomb threat sent by an unidentified person via electronic mail." The email at 7.30am (0030 GMT) contained a threat to "blow up" Saudia Airlines flight SV 5276, which was flying from the Saudi city of Jeddah to the Indonesian capital Jakarta, it said in a statement. After 10.00am the pilot diverted the plane from its destination of Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to Kualanamu International Airport in Medan, a city on Sumatra island in western Indonesia. The flight was carrying 442 haj pilgrims, including 207 men and 235 women, it added. "Upon identifying security and safety threats, the pilot decided to divert the landing to the nearest airport," said InJourney Airports, Indonesia's airport operator. A transport ministry official told AFP the plane was still in Medan and Flightradar24 showed the plane there. The airport evacuated the pilgrims and a bomb disposal unit swept the plane for explosive devices, the aviation body said in its statement. - AFP
