Suspicious package found near Gambir

JAKARTA: A suspicious package thought to be a bomb was found
by residents near Gambir railway station in front of the main
gate of the Graha Migas building in Gambir, Central Jakarta.

A resident who noticed the package at 2:30 p.m. alerted nearby
police officers, who in turn contacted the city police bomb
squad.

Members of the bomb squad from Kelapa Dua, Depok, arrived
about half an hour later and opened the package, which was tied
with plastic string. The squad members found another box wrapped
in paper inside the package.

Squad members put the box back into the package and took it to
city police headquarters for further investigation.

Police, however, have not yet confirmed the contents of the
package. --JP
