BOGOR (JP): Four bags containing 1,107 bullets believed to be
\nready for illegal sale have been found under Cimande Bridge in

\nannounced that the live bullets were for FN 45, FN 46, Colt 38

\"The bullets were produced by (state ammunitions company) PT
\nPindad in Bandung between 1990 and 1997,\" Suratmo disclosed.<\/p>\n
The discovery, he said, was based on a tip-off from a resident
\nwho was fishing under the bridge on Tuesday at midnight.<\/p>\n
\"By accident, this man spotted a plastic package neatly placed
\nat a hidden site under the bridge,\" Suratmo said.<\/p>\n
Suspicious, the man went over to the plastic bag and opened

\nlater found three more bags of bullets.<\/p>\n
\"The plastic bags were found at separate places under the
\nbridge,\" Suratmo said.<\/p>\n
