40 prosecutors for terror cases

AMBON, Maluku: The Maluku Prosecutor's Office has prepared at
least 40 prosecutors to deal with various terror-related cases in
the province.

Head of the Prosecutor Office's investigative team, Elsi
Demas, said on Wednesday that if 40 prosecutors were not enough
to deal with all the cases, more prosecutors could be assigned
from outside the province.

Among the cases to be prosecuted will be the recent attack on
a Mobile Brigade unit post on Lokki island that killed seven
people, and a grenade explosion in Batumerah village, Ambon in
which 19 people were injured.

Elsi said many of the case dossiers were still with the
police. "The police have conducted reenactments of the cases and
we are preparing teams of prosecutors to deal with them," he
said, adding that five or six prosecutors would be assigned to
each case. -- JP
