S.Mereghetti, A.Paizis (IASF-Milano), D.Gotz (CEA-Saclay), M. Turler, 
S.Shaw, M. Beck, C. Baldovin Saavedra (ISDC, Versoix), and J. 
Borkowski (CAMK, Torun) on behalf of the IBAS Localization Team report:

A GRB lasting about 10 s has been detected by IBAS in IBIS/ISGRI data at 
22:33:32 UT of April 14. The coordinates (J2000)  are:

 RA:  272.1342 [degrees]
 DEC: -18.8291 [degrees]

with an uncertainty of 2 arcmin (90% c.l.).

A preliminary analysis gives a peak flux in the 20-200 keV range of about 
1 ph/cmq/s (1-s integration time) and a fluence over the same energy range 
of 3e-7 erg/cmq.
