Police name suspects of BLK attack

TANGERANG: The Tangerang Police have named four people who are
suspected in an attack on a job training center (BLK) of PT Adi
Santa Kencana Mas, a supplier of migrant workers on Jl. Iskandar
Muda in Neglasari district of Tangerang.

Tangerang Police deputy chief Comr. Gde Sugianyar
said on Thursday that the four suspects, identified as
Satibih, 25, Saifudin, 18, Nafsin, 22 and Nuriyaman,
19, were arrested on Tuesday. They are residents of Padalaman
village in Serang, Banten province.

Some 100 residents of Pedalaman village, Tirtayasa district of
Serang who arrived at the center in two trucks attacked the
illegal migrant worker center that was home to 500 workers,
mostly women. No injuries were reported, but the building was
damaged.

Andree, 25, a local resident, said that the assault was
sparked by the center's security officers' rudeness toward a man
who intended to visit a relative at the center.

"A day before the assault, I saw a security officer forbid an
unidentified man from entering the building and kick him after he
tried to insist on seeing his niece," he told The Jakarta Post.

He said the unidentified man then went home and returned on
Tuesday with two trucks of people who attacked the building.--JP
