JAKARTA (JP): One of nine students arrested for using morphine

blood and urine tests.

A police lieutenant at the Central Jakarta Police precinct
said yesterday the released student, identified only as TD, 21,
was a law student at a state university in Jakarta.

TD was one of two female students in the group.

The officer, who asked not to be named, said the other eight
students were still being held. "The results of their tests are
all positive. They will be further processed."

Seven students are now in detention at the Central Jakarta
Police precinct which was yesterday crowded by their relatives
and friends.

East Jakarta.

The students were arrested in a raid on a house on Jl. Cempaka

(about 45 grams) of morphine and a syringe.

The students then were taken to National Police headquarters
for blood and urine tests before being detained. (jun)
