PPP activists attack vehicles

SURABAYA: Local military commander Maj. Gen. Imam Utomo has
summoned United Development Party (PPP) leaders to account for
recent vandalism involving party activists.

The incident took place Sunday in Pasuruan when trucks of PPP
activists heading for Surabaya to attend the party's 24th
anniversary celebration pounded vehicles with branches they had
chopped from trees beside the road.

Several cars and at least two buses plying the Pasuruan-
Mojokerto route were reported damaged.

"They have to take responsibility for the incident," Imam said
here Tuesday.

He accepted the incident would not have happened if the
security personnel escorting the activists had done their job
properly, Antara reported. (pan)
