Parcel bomb suspect apprehended

MAKASSAR, South Sulawesi: The sender of a parcel that exploded in a post office in the South Sulawesi capital of Makassar last week has been arrested by the security forces in West Java, local police said here on Tuesday.

Adj. Comr. Siswa, acting spokesman for the South Sulawesi Provincial Police, said Anky was being held in a police cell in the West Java town of Bogor.

He said Anky's name appeared on the mailing receipt for the parcel, which was addressed to Sahabuddin, Sengkang village, Wajo subdistrict.

However, Siswa said Sahabuddin was still at large and the police had launched a manhunt for him.

The parcel blew up last Saturday at Makassar's Daya post office, seriously injuring three workers. --Antara
