Three foreigners buried here

JAKARTA (JP): Three of the five black Africans, who were shot
dead during a drug raid in South Jakarta last week, were buried
on Thursday at Pondok Rangon cemetery in East Jakarta.

Chief of city police detectives, Col. Alex Bambang Riatmodjo,
said they decided to bury the three men -- Moussa Sulaiman
Damola, Ibrahim Muhammed and Mvemeui Jhola Oladi -- here because
of their ambiguous identity.

"Many foreigners commit crimes here with fake passports which
contain a phony identity. That's why we could not trace their
nationalities or families," Alex, who led the funeral, told
reporters.

Alex said the other two suspects -- Mueden Bocarinwa and
Freeman Charles -- were identified as Nigerian citizens by
officials at the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

"They will be sent back to their family in Nigeria soon." (06)
