Police discover bullets in Poso

PALU, Central Sulawesi: Local police detectives have found a
number of bullet shells near the center of sectarian clashes that
hit the Central Sulawesi town of Poso two weeks ago.

Sources from Poso Police told Antara on Monday that the
projectiles were identified as coming from 5.56 caliber bullets
that were believed to have killed six people and injured more
than 30 others during the violence.

They said such bullets were commonly used in M-16 or CIS
rifles, which are not the standard weapons of the National
Police.

Deputy chief of provincial police Col. Andi Zainal Abidin
confirmed the findings and said the evidence had been kept by the
police. He said the discovery comprised nine 5.56 caliber and
three CIS bullet shells.
