JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) -- Four people were killed and three injured after a bomb ripped through a busy karaoke cafe on the central Indonesian island of Sulawesi.
The blast struck the cafe in the town of Palopo Saturday night, said Aipda Sukardi, a police officer on the scene.
Police think the explosive was left under a table but do not believe the bomber was among the dead.
There has been no claim of responsibility.
The bombing was the latest in a series of recent terrorist attacks, including a New Year's Eve bombing that killed 10 people and injured 45 in Indonesia's restive Aceh province.
Twelve people were killed in the August 5 bombing of the Marriott in Jakarta. More than 100 were wounded in the blast.
Members of the Jemaah Islamiyah terror group -- which has ties to al Qaeda -- were arrested.
The group was also blamed for the October 2002 nightclub blasts in Bali that killed 202 people.
