Arab tourist bitten by camel

BOGOR (JP): A Saudi Arabian tourist was bitten on the upper
arm by a camel while he was visiting the Indonesian Safari Park
in Puncak, West Java, on Friday.

The tourist, identified as Muhamad, 50, was then sent to the
Bogor Red Cross Hospital for minor treatment.

Muhammad, along with three other Saudi friends and two local
women, were visiting the Safari park in a vehicle on Friday
afternoon.

Aisah, who was accompanying the tourist, said Muhamad got out
of the vehicle to offer some carrots to one of the camels, which
suddenly bit him on the upper arm.

Meanwhile, Asep, a member of the Safari Park's staff, blamed
Muhamad for the incident, saying that visitors were clearly
warned not to get out off their vehicles.

"Visitors are not allowed to alight from their vehicles, but
he insisted on doing so. We are not responsible for this incident
because it was the visitor's own fault," he said. (21)
