JAKARTA: The police have arrested three suspects in an
alleged arson attack on the official residence of Bengkulu
Prosecutors' Office head Rusdi Taher on Dec. 9.

National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Paiman said on Monday the
police had detained EL, SP and IH as suspects and seized one
Mitsubishi Kuda van, two Suzuki motorcycles and three Nokia cell
phones on Monday.

Although no lives were claimed in the fire, it destroyed two
cars, two motorcycles and furniture belonging to Rusdi.
