Three wounded in KPI office attack
JAKARTA (JP): An unidentified group of one hundred men
attacked the office of the Indonesian Sailors' Union (KPI) at Jl
Cikini 58, in the Menteng district of Central Jakarta early on
Tuesday, injuring three employees.
In addition to hurting the three KPI employees, identified as
Iswandi, 30, Salam, 25 and Iwan, 28, the attackers also damaged
the office doors, windows, and equipment inside the office.
As of Tuesday noon, the wounded employees still lay in bed at
the Baruna medical clinic behind the KPI office.
According to Menteng Police chief Comr. Eky H.S. who had
questioned several witnesses, such an attack was sparked off by
revenge among the previous KPI board of executives.
The office was also the subject of a revenge attack in April
last year.
KPI chairman Elison Hutasoit said the alleged attackers were
hired by members of old KPI board whose positions at KPI had been
taken by new board members.
However, Eky said police would not just trust Elison's
testimony until further investigations into the case had been
carried out. (01)
