Escaped prisoners still at large

CIREBON, West Java: Two notorious criminals who broke out of
the Kesambi Penitentiary were still at large as of Friday,
according to authorities.

Comr. Sardjono, chief of the Cirebon Police, said that
officers have set up three teams to capture the escapees.

One team, he noted, would be dispatched to Aceh, as one of the
fugitives, Mohammad Ali, who had been serving out a 14-year jail
term for an illegal gun possession, was Acehnese.

Ali, convicted of supplying guns to the Free Aceh Movement in
Aceh, and Yadi Mulyadi who had been sentenced to death for
murder, were discovered missing from their cell Tuesday after
sawing through its trellis.

Sardjono said the police would work extra hard to recapture
the two, because of their reputation and the high-profile nature
of their crimes.

"We have circulated their identities and photos to all
provincial police," he said. --JP
