Students rally over recent Poso attacks

PALU: About 500 university students in the Central Sulawesi
capital of Palu staged a demonstration on Wednesday, demanding
that the perpetrators of the most recent terror attacks in the
city and neighboring town of Poso be brought to justice.

The students criticized local security forces for moving too
slowly in investigating the terror cases, describing the
situation in the two towns as tense.

The demonstration was held as Coordinating Minister for Legal,
Political and Security Affairs Widodo Adi Sucipto inaugurated in
Poso a special government task force, which consists of police
officers and officials from related ministries, assigned to help
investigate the attacks in Poso and Palu, and instill a sense of
stability in the two areas.

Poso was the scene of two years of sectarian conflict from
1999 to 2001. -- detik.com
