Bomb in a parcel

Bomb in a parcel

Recently there was shocking news in Tanjung Balai, North
Sumatra. An explosive parcel went off in a car on March 6, at 10
a.m., and wounded Rustam Effendy Panjaitan, 33. The parcel
contained a bomb, which looked like a tape recorder. It exploded
when the victim pressed a particular button.

The injured person was taken to Adam Malik Hospital in Medan
because the hospital we have here in this town said it could not
handle the patient due to inadequate equipment.

There should have been more media coverage about this, which
shows that the peace we have been maintaining for so long is
being undermined. Usually we have deep concern over the breaking
of peace in foreign countries and take pity on them. There should
also be deep concern about the bomb explosion in Tanjung Balai
among our law enforcers and the public.

We should take a lesson from this incident and be careful.
