The source IGR J17544-2619 reported in ATEL #190 was again detected in
outburst during the next set of INTEGRAL observations. This outburst
began on September 17, at 6h UTC and lasted 8 hours. The profile was
complex and consisted of two broad peaks. The flux measured with
ISGRI/IBIS in the 18-25 keV band was equal to ~45 mCrab on the average,
reaching in the peaks ~60 and ~80 mCrab. In the harder 25-50 keV band
the flux was detected only at these moments and was equal to ~40 and
~30 mCrab, respectively. We have no data on the source in the standard
X-ray band because it was outside the JEM-X field-of-view.
