44 candidates treated for food poisoning

JAKARTA: Forty-four prosecutor candidates, attending a
training center at the Attorney General's Office, are being
treated for food poisoning.

The center's head M. Yamin said on Thursday that nine
candidates were rushed to Fatmawati Hospital in South Jakarta
after they had dinner on Wednesday evening, while the rest were
being treated at the center's dormitory.

"All hospital bills will be covered by the center," Yamin told
Antara, adding that the cause of the alleged food poisoning was
still being investigated.

The candidates, who will be inaugurated next Tuesday, ate
meals provided by a catering company, which often serves the
Attorney General's Office.-JP
