Cilegon calm after unrest

CILEGON, West Java: Security remained tight around the PT
Krakatau Steel factory complex here on Thursday following unrest
which exploded on Wednesday afternoon.

Several platoons of police and soldiers were seen standing
guard near the 3,000 hectare factory complex.

The unrest erupted following the death of a 13-year-old boy
who was killed as he, along with several friends were stealing
some old unused steel bars near the factory.

Antara reported that Lt. Deni Kusdeni, 37, tried to scare away
the looters by firing a warning shot. However Deni failed to take
into account the direction of the bullet which hit Faisal bin
Faruroji in the head.

One security vehicle belonging to the steel company and six
security posts were burned during the ensuing riot.
