Firecrackers vendor arrested<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): A man has been arrested in Rawa Bunga, East
\nJakarta, for selling about 480 kilograms of firecrackers, police
\nsaid over the weekend.<\/p>\n
City police spokesman Lt. Col. E. Aritonang said the goods
\nwere confiscated on Thursday afternoon and would be used as
\nevidence against the vendor, Azizan, 36.<\/p>\n
\"It is prohibited by law to sell any explosive materials
\nwithout an official permit from the related institutions. This

He said that Azizan would be charged under Article 1 of the
\n1951 Emergency Law No. 12 which stipulates the death penalty,
\nlife in prison or a maximum of 20 years in jail.<\/p>\n
Azizan sold the firecracker on Jl. Rawa Bunga.<\/p>\n
\"I sold them because many people, young and old, are looking
\nfor the items,\" Aritonang quoted Azizan as saying.<\/p>\n
The suspect often bought the items from a manufacturer in
\nIndramayu, West Java, he said. (cst)<\/p>",
