Three aliens held for Ecstasy

SEMARANG: An Irishman and two Singaporeans are being held on
suspicion of trafficking Ecstasy in Indonesia, National Police
Chief Lt. Gen. Dibyo Widodo said yesterday.

The foreigners are believed to be members of drug syndicates
that supply the pills in Indonesia.

"Countless pills have been seized from traffickers. In Jakarta
alone, the police have confiscated more than 100,000 pills, not
to mention those seized in other cities such as Yogyakarta,
Semarang and Denpasar," he said.

He said he had ordered all police commanders in the provinces
to step up their fight against Ecstasy. (har/pan)
