Children killed in grenade blast<\/p>\n
KEBUMEN, Central Java: Four boys were killed when a grenade
\nexploded in a pine forest which served as a military training
\nground in Bonasari village here on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
A local police information service was quoted by Antara as
\nsaying that it was suspected that the grenade exploded when the
\nchildren, who were identified as Tri Setiawan, 11, Fajar
\nAndrianto, 10, Cipto Priyono, 9, and Oki Octadari, 11, were
\nplaying with it. They lived near the forest, which was their
\nfavorite playground.<\/p>\n
Nearby residents have been restricted from entering the area
\nsince training for new military recruits began on Oct. 8. Wooden
\nplanks inscribed with warnings had been placed on every corner.<\/p>\n
Despite the warnings, some villagers entered the dangerous
\nzone to collect discarded bullet shells which they later sold.<\/p>\n
The incident took place just after a new group of recruits had
\nfinished regular training. Police suspected that the grenade was
\noverlooked when military instructors cleared the area.<\/p>\n
Chief of local police Lt. Col. Totok Sudhiarto said police and
\nlocal military commanders were investigating the incident. (amd)<\/p>",
