Dossiers of alleged shooters submitted

AMBON, Maluku: Pattimura Military Commander Brig. Gen. I Made
Yasa said on Thursday that the dossiers of the Wijaya II rogue
shooters have been handed over to Indonesian Military (TNI)
headquarters.

He pledged to "bow to any decision made following the probe".

"I have handed the case dossiers over to TNI headquarters. I
have done my best to deal with rioters and the situation in
Maluku and I believe that Ambon people who wish to maintain peace
will agree to the firm action taken during a riot on Jan. 22,"
Yasa said.

Joint security forces -- comprising the Navy's Marines, the
Air Force's Paskhas and the Army's Kopassus -- apprehended 13
security personnel on Jan. 22 who allegedly fired shots at them.

The joint security force also seized two SS-1 rifles, four
luger handguns, an FN pistol, four colt handguns, a rocket
launcher, a combat knife, six magazines of SS-1 bullets, two
homemade bombs and two grams of crystal methampethamine from the
Wijaya II Hotel.

Separately, the Internal Meeting of Muslims in Maluku was held
in Ambon on Wednesday, officiated by Maluku Governor Saleh
Latuconsina.

"The meeting is considered as an evaluation effort among
Muslims in dealing with the current situation and will hopefully
maintain peace in Maluku," he said. (edt/49)
