Five shot in Tuban riot: Five people are being treated at local
community health centers due to gunshot wounds they suffered
after police troops opened fire to quell an unruly protest
against the operation of the U.S. oil company Devon in Tuban,
East Java on Wednesday. Police said on Thursday the stiff
measures followed two days of siege at the company's compound by
thousands of local residents, who demanded money because of the
air pollution resulting from the oil exploration activities.
Another 11 villagers were injured after being beaten. -- Antara
