Attackers destroy bridge

BEKASI: About 20 unidentified men burned down a bridge
connecting Paparen village and Patola village in Central
Cikarang, Bekasi regency, on Tuesday at about 10:30 p.m.

Patola village head Mohamad Adim alleged that the incident was
related to the poor results of the Indonesian Democratic Party of
Struggle (PDI-P) in the recent legislative election. The bridge
was built by party supporters before the election.

Residents of the two villages hope the Bekasi regency
administration will rebuild the bridge, which is vital to
transportation and communication between the two areas.

The incident is being investigated by the Central Cikarang
Police. -- JP
