The Walisongo school massacre is the name given to a series of terrorist attacks by Christian sectarian militants on 28 May 2000, upon several predominantly Muslim villages around Poso town, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, as part of a broader sectarian conflict in the Poso region. Officially, the total number killed in the attacks is 200, but many sources also have different numbers. One commonly used source is 191 fatalities, but there is no definite figure of how many died. The number of deaths is believed to be more than the 39 calculated from bodies later discovered in three mass graves, and "equal to or below" the 200 or 191 quoted by Muslim sources. The massacre is named for the Pesantren Walisongo boarding school in Sintuwu Lemba where the most infamous murders occurred. Three leaders of local Christian militia groups were later convicted and executed in 2006 for crimes committed during the massacre.
