AGILE is detecting intense gamma-ray emission above 100 MeV from a new unidentified source, AGL J0906-1241 with Galactic coordinates (l, b) = (241.5, 22.4) ± 0.8 deg (95% stat. c.l.) ± 0.1 deg (syst.), (R.A.: 136.5, Dec: -12.7). Integrating from 2010-04-11 05:00 UT to 2010-04-13 06:00 UT, a maximum likelihood analysis yields a detection at a significance level larger than 5 sigma, and a flux F = (3.8+/-1.2) 10-6 ph/cm2/s (E > 100 MeV).
