Military seizes thieves' equipment

SAMARINDA, East Kalimantan: The military has seized 104 units
of heavy equipment from Malaysian loggers operating illegally
near the Indonesian-Malaysian border in East Kalimantan province
since September last year, Antara said.

"The military also detained the timber thieves at the border
areas until they were brought to court," chief of the Aji
Suryanata Kesuma military resort here, Col. Rudi Landung, said
yesterday.

As forests in the border areas are susceptible to plundering,
he said patrols in the border areas should be intensified.
