Grenades found in Malang ditch

MALANG, Central Java: Ten grenades were found in several plastic bags in a sewer on Jl. Tanimber here on Wednesday morning.

The grenades were found by residents cleaning the sewer.

According to Antara, Malang deputy police chief Lt. Col. Iwan Siregar confirmed the find, but stressed that there was nothing to be worried about.

He brushed off concerns, saying that such finds were normal in the Malang area, where many skirmishes during Indonesia's war of independence in the late 1940s took place.
