Parents of PRD chief escape blast

BOGOR (JP): A bomb exploded at the house of the parents of
Budiman Sudjatmiko, chairman of the People's Democratic Party
(PRD), here on Wednesday morning.

Rahman, chief of the neighborhood security unit in Sukaresmi
subdistrict, Tanah Sereal district, said that the blast occurred
at about 2 a.m. in the house of Wartono Karyo Utomo and Sri
Sulastri. No injuries were reported.

Several residents on neighborhood patrol went directly to the
house upon hearing the explosion, which they thought could have
been a firecracker.

The owners of the house, who surprisingly said they heard
nothing, were shocked upon seeing the smoke and smelling the
strong scent of sulfur.

Sulastri said that on Sunday two people went to the house and
asked about Budiman's address, and whether it was true that he
lived in Sukapermai.

"I told them that Sukapermai did not exist. It is Sukaresmi,
and that I am Budiman's mother," she said. (21)
