Old mortar shells found in Bogor

BOGOR: Construction workers at the Pesona Alam housing complex
in Cisarua, West Java, uncovered two mortar shells dating back to
the Dutch colonial era.

Agus, 35, and Hamdan, 17, were digging in the area when they
struck the shells.

The workers notified the Cisarua Police, which dispatched the
bomb squad to the scene.

"From the look of them, the mortar shells could still be
active," Cisarua Police chief Adj. Comr. Widodo said. -- JP
