Tangerang blast puzzle police<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Tangerang Police detectives submitted to the
\nNational Police forensics laboratory (Puslabfor) fragments of a
\nschoolbag which exploded on Thursday evening in front of the
\nMitra supermarket in Telaga Sari village, Cikupa.<\/p>\n
The 6 p.m. blast seriously injured high school students
\nTutilawati, 18, a resident of Pasar Kemis, Tangerang, and Lo'ot,
\n17, also a resident of Pasar Kemis. Both were immediately rushed
\nto Tangerang General Hospital for medical treatment.<\/p>\n
\"The blast originated from Lo'ot's schoolbag. Both students
\nwere returning to their homes, Lo'ot handed his bag to the girl,
\nand his bag exploded,\" Lt. Col. Pudji Hartanto said on Friday.<\/p>\n
Lo'ot suffered serious back wounds, while Tutilawati's arms
\nwere lacerated.<\/p>\n
\"So far we have found no trace of any bomb or explosive
\nparticle in the vicinity of the blast area. Nothing at all ... so
\nwe don't know whether it was a firecracker, a grenade or what. We
\ndon't know whether there was any TNT (flammable toxic compound
\ntrinitrotoluene) or not.\"<\/p>\n
National Police deputy Puslabfor chief Col. Dudon Saputra
\npreviously stated that when a blast occurs, the explosive
\nmaterial itself \"does not disappear into thin air\".<\/p>\n
\"There is always bomb residue left behind. That is enough to
\ndetermine the composition of a bomb, and what mechanism was used
\nto activate it,\" Dudon said recently.<\/p>\n
\"In any sort of explosion or fire, the bomb itself is never
\nreally finished totally. There is always residue.\" (ylt)<\/p>",
