Another police chief fired after attack

MAKASSAR, South Sulawesi: A police disciplinary committee here removed on Wednesday East Makassar Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Eko Suprianto from his post and ordered that he be detained for 14 days for his role in the recent brutal attack on 65 students in Makassar.

He had earlier been suspended by National Police chief Gen. Da'i Bachtiar only hours after dozens of police officers stormed the Indonesian Muslim University (UMI) on May 1.

The committee said Eko was found guilty of failing to prevent the brutal attack that injured 65 students including two who sustained gunshot wounds. --JP
