Associated Press

JAKARTA, Indonesia - A strong earthquake caused tall buildings to sway in the Indonesian
capital Wednesday, witnesses said. The quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.1 and was
centered 24 miles beneath the Sunda straits, said Budi Waluyo, an official at Indonesia's
meteorological office said.

It struck 120 miles southwest of Jakarta, he said.

A tsunami triggered by a magnitude 7.7 earthquake slammed into Indonesia's Java island
on Monday, killing more than 530 people. Aftershocks have continued to rattle the region.
