Police investigating molotov case<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: Pulo Gadung Police are still investigating the
\nseizure of 24 molotov cocktails from a flat in Pulo Mas apartment
\nblock, East Jakarta, last Friday, an official announced.<\/p>\n
\"We have yet to find the suspects but we have named four
\npeople as witnesses,\" Adj. Comr. Syamsu Rizal, the subprecinct
\nchief, told The Jakarta Post on Sunday, adding that the witnesses
\nwould soon be questioned.<\/p>\n
The four witnesses are two local security guards at the
\napartment, namely Mujo and Adi, as well as Budi and Supriyanto,
\nwho live next to the apartment.<\/p>\n
Pulo Gadung Police staged a raid on the fifth floor of Pulo
\nMas apartment block following a report from several residents.<\/p>\n
However, the police officers found no people at the place, but
\nseized 24 molotov cocktails, which were later sent to Jakarta
\nPolice forensic laboratory early last Saturday to undergo further
\ntests.<\/p>\n
The bombs were allegedly made several weeks ago as gasoline in
\nthe bottle had already mixed with rain water.<\/p>\n
\"We suspect the molotov cocktails were to be used for fights
\namong residents,\" said Syamsu, adding that a number of residents
\nof the Pulo Mas apartment block had already been involved in mass
\nbrawls with nearby residents on several occasions.<\/p>\n
A mass brawl occurred between residents of the Pulo Mas
\napartment block with those of neighboring Kampung Nangka about
\nhalf an hour before the police raided the apartment. --JP<\/p>",
