Shamans summoned over Batutulis case<\/p>\n
BOGOR, West Java: The Bogor Police have issued a second
\nsummons for three shamans who reportedly advised Minister of
\nReligious Affairs Said Agil Husin Al Munawar to excavate a
\nhistorical site in Batutulis here last month.<\/p>\n
The chairman of the People's Alliance for Indonesian Cultural
\nConservation, Gartono, said after a meeting with Bogor Police
\nchief Adj. Sr. Comr. Setyo Wasisto on Friday the three could be
\nquestioned as suspects after a witness indicated the excavation
\nhad damaged the historical site.<\/p>\n
The police identified the shamans as Faris S of Probolinggo,
\nEast Java, Safrudin of Indramayu, West Java, and Khalimi of
\nKebayoran, South Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Gartono quoted Setyo as saying that the three men had ignored
\nthe first summons for questioning on Sept. 10.<\/p>\n
The police have questioned 18 witnesses and are waiting for
\nthe President's approval to question Said Agil, who has
\nrepeatedly apologized for the treasure hunt in Batutulis.<\/p>\n
Gartono said his organization would proceed with a class
\naction suit against the minister. -- JP<\/p>",
