Six arrested for attacking bus

BANDAR LAMPUNG, Lampung: Police have arrested six of about 15
people who attacked passengers of a minibus. One person was
killed during the attack and several others injured.

Lampung police chief Col. Endang Suwanda said yesterday that
security forces were still tracking the rest, whose identities
are known.

The incident happened on Sunday when more than a dozen angry
people attacked the chartered bus and its passengers after the
vehicle hit a four-year-old child in an accident, Antara
reported.

Women on the bus were attacked and robbed. The police
described the incident as "tragic." One of the victims,
identified as Mrs. Etik, died after a hospital refused to admit
her because she could not pay in advance for any treatment. (pan)
