Police seize detonators

UJUNGPANDANG, South Sulawesi: Police have seized 2,000
detonators smuggled from India which were intended for fish
bombing.

The alleged smuggler, identified only as Bah, had been
arrested here June 21 while disembarking a ferry from Tarakan,
East Kalimantan, city detective chief Second Lieutenant Rachmad
Sudjana said yesterday.

He had carried the detonators in a large can which he had he
said contained biscuits, Rachmad said.

The detonators had been destined for Bone, about 250
kilometers north of here.

Environmentalists have singled out fish bombing as the most
destructive fishing method. They say bombing caused the
widespread destruction of coral reefs in Sulawesi waters. (37)
