Indonesian island' . . .
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - The death toll rose to six on Monday from a powerful weekend earthquake in Indonesia as rescuers reached mountainous villages that had been cut off by landslides, officials said. At least 43 others were injured, including eight in critical condition.
The magnitude-6.3 quake struck Saturday evening near Palu city on Sulawesi Island as residents were ending their fast on the final day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Sutopo Purwo Nugroho of Indonesia's Disaster Management Agency said rescuers with heavy equipment and bulldozers were clearing the roads to at least 14 villages in Sigie district that were blocked by landslides.
Nugroho said six people were killed by falling debris and tons of mud, including a 9-year-old boy, and the toll was likely to rise further. He said the earthquake damaged hundreds of houses and buildings in Parigi Mountong and Sigie, the closest districts to the epicenter, and roads and bridges were destroyed.
Indonesia is prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," an arc of volcanos and fault lines around the Pacific Basin. A giant quake off the country on Dec. 26, 2004, triggered a tsunami in the Indian Ocean that killed 230,000 people, half of them in Indonesia's westernmost province of Aceh.

EUROPE News 'Major fire on eastern Greek island of Chios' . . .
ATHENS, Greece (AP) - Hundreds of firefighters were battling a major forest fire on Greece's eastern Aegean island of Chios on Monday as it ravaged forests, agricultural land and groves of the island's famed mastic trees for the third day.
Gale-force winds were hampering efforts by about 360 firefighters, soldiers and volunteers, as well as firefighting planes, helicopters and 50 vehicles. Residents of nine villages and hamlets evacuated their homes over the weekend as a precaution.
The blaze broke out shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday morning and authorities said that by Monday it had destroyed about 7,000 hectares (16,000 acres) of forest and farmland. Smoke from the fire carried across the Aegean as far as the southern island of Crete, more than 350 kilometers (230 miles) away.
Chios is famous for the production of mastic, a gum-like resin with a distinctive flavor produced only by trees on certain parts of the island. It is used widely in confectionery, cooking and cosmetics and a major source of income.
Local authorities said many of the trees had been burned, while the island's beekeepers had also lost 60 percent of their hives. Another five forest and brush fires broke out Monday across Greece, while crews were fighting another six blazes burning since Sunday in other parts of the country.
One of those was on the central Aegean island of Andros, where two French tourists - a 32-year-old man and a 29-year-old woman - were arrested on suspicion of starting Sunday's fire. The Fire Department did not specify how the blaze started.
Forest fires are common in Greece during the typically long, hot summers, and the country has seen a series of blazes in recent weeks after going through a heat wave. By far the worst spate of fires came in 2007, when more than 60 people died as flames swept across hundreds of kilometers through villages and across mountains in the Peloponnese in the country's south and in central Greece.

Isyarat RASULULLAH tentang berbagai kerusuhan, Yang untuk Menghidarinya harus Menyingkir dari Masyarakat (Messenger Cues about the Riots, which to be Get away from the Society) . . .
Demikian, sebagaimana tersebut dalam sebuah hadith yang disampaikan kepada kita oleh Ibnu Mas’ud. Abu Daud meriwayatkan dari Muslim bin Abi Bakrah dan ayahnya, dia berkata: Rasulullah Shallallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam bersabda,
“Sesungguhnya akan terjadi suatu huru-hara, dimana orang yang berbaring lebih baik daripada orang yang duduk, orang yang duduk lebih baik daripada orang yang berdiri, orang yang berdiri lebih baik daripada orang yang berjalan, dan orang yang berjalan lebih baik daripada orang yang berlari. Abu Bakrah berkata, ‘Ya Rasul ‘Allah apa yang anda perintahkan kepadaku?’
Rasul menjawab, ‘Barangsiapa memilih unta, temuilah untanya. Barangsiapa memiliki kambing, temui kambingnya. Dan Barangsiapa memiliki kebun, temuilah kebunnya. ‘Rasul bersabda pula, ‘Barangsiapa tidak memiliki apa-apa, maka ambil pedangnya, lalu pukullah pada batu mata pedangnya itu, kemudian selamatkan dirinya selagi boleh”
