Ecstasy pills to be destroyed

DENPASAR: The authorities are waiting for the green light from
the Attorney General's Office in Jakarta to destroy tens of
thousands of Ecstasy pills.

Chief of the Denpasar prosecutors office said the planned
destruction of the illicit drugs would demonstrate to the public
just how serious the authorities are about fighting drug
trafficking.

On Saturday, the authorities destroyed almost 38,900 bottles
of liquor which had been smuggled into the tourist island.

The announced destruction came amid public speculations about
what the authorities did with the pills they confiscate, Antara
