Manggarai riots holds trains

JAKARTA (JP): Trains heading for and leaving Jakarta through
Manggarai station in South Jakarta were held up for one and a
half hours on Sunday evening due to attacks by unidentified
people against local people in the area.

A policeman told Antara news agency that the attackers came
from the Senayan stadium, apparently after watching the soccer
match between Indonesia and China, at which China beat Indonesia
2-0.

But the policeman could not yet say what had prompted the
dissatisfied spectators to attack Manggarai residents.

The police, in cooperation with officials from the state
railway company PT Kereta Api Indonesia, managed to control the
situation, and after one and a half hours, trains were able to
pass through the station.
