Journalist stabbed for debt<\/p>\n
BANDARLAMPUNG, Lampung: A senior journalist was rushed to the
\nhospital on Saturday after he was stabbed in the hand by a
\ncolleague over debt.<\/p>\n
Witnesses said that the incident started when Junaidi, the
\nchief editor of weekly newspaper The Voice of Youth, met Yahya, a
\njournalist at a local news publication, in the lobby of the
\nBandar Lampung Municipality Council.<\/p>\n
Upon seeing him, Junaidi demanded that Yahya repay a debt he
\nowed. Yahya responded furiously to the request, apparently
\nhumiliated by Junaidi's demanding the repayment in public.<\/p>\n
Yahya found a fork somewhere nearby, then returned to Junaidi
\nand stabbed him in his right hand.<\/p>\n
Bystanders quickly separated the two journalists and took
\nJunaidi to Bumi Waras Hospital for medical treatment.<\/p>\n
It is not yet known whether Junaidi intends to file a lawsuit
\nagainst Yahya over the incident. -- Antara<\/p>\n

Bengkulu books US$3.5m from coal<\/p>\n
BENGKULU, Bengkulu: Bengkulu province has booked US$3.5
\nmillion from coal exports up to July 2003, a senior official
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
"Bengkulu's coal exports has so far succeeded in meeting the
\ndemand of the Malaysian market," head of the provincial trade and
\nindustry office Zainal Jambak said on Saturday.<\/p>\n
However, he said the 2002-2003 export volume of coal from the
\nprovince showed a declining trend because of transportation woes
\nand because many mining companies in the province had stopped
\nproducing the commodity.<\/p>\n
The province recorded an export volume of 725,476 tons of coal
\nin 2000, which fell to 457,390 tons in 2001 and to 446,000 tons
\nin 2002.<\/p>\n
The volume dropped sharply this year, reaching only 177,089
\ntons from January to July.<\/p>\n
"The silting of the harbor on Bai Island ... might have
\nhampered the shipment of coal to destination countries," Zainal
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Only ships weighing in at 30,000 dead weight tons are
\npermitted to anchor in the harbor, while coal carriers are
\ngenerally much heavier.<\/p>\n
Data at the trade and industry office shows that the province
\nhas 7.3 million tons of coal deposits from a 59,590 hectare plot
\nin North Bengkulu district and a 28,771 hectare plot in South
\nBengkulu district. -- Antara<\/p>",
