Team to probe bombing case

KUPANG, West Nusa Tenggara: District police chief, Adj.Sr.
Comr. FFJ Mirah said here on Thursday he had set up a special
team comprising eight police officers to solve Wednesday's pre-
dawn bomb blast at the house of the editor of the Timor Radar
daily.

He said his team had no leads and had no idea who was behind
the attack on at the house, located in the Kolhua Housing
Complex, at 1.54 a.m.

No person was injured in the explosion, which caused extensive
damage to the house and a motorbike parked some 50 meters away
from the scene.

Fredy Wahon, the chief editor, speculated that police were
involved in the attack which he said was closely connected to his
intensive reporting of gambling coupons in the city.

"We hope Fredy will talk openly about the people behind the
bombing and we will get them," Mirah said. --Antara
