Tension continues to mount in the Indonesian province of Aceh in the lead up to next month's parliamentary elections.

Last week five people were injured in a grenade attack on a cafe owned by the main party of Aceh's former separatist fighters. Grenade attacks, kidnappings and other low-level violence directed at political parties have been fueling fears of unrest ahead of the April 9 polls.
