Two detained for inciting riot

BANDUNG, West Java: The police are still holding two persons
suspected of inciting last week's riot between several thousand
roadside vendors and pedicab drivers and security forces.

The suspects, identified only as Sh, 19, and Bah, 22, were two
of the 11 initially arrested on suspicion of masterminding the
riot in which many shops and vehicles were vandalized. The other
nine detained have since been released.

The two were caught red-handed vandalizing street lights and
traffic signs, city police chief Col. Didi Widayadi told
journalists here Saturday.

Didi said that the police were still tracking down three more
persons suspected of participation in the disturbance. None of
the detained were traders or pedicab drivers, Antara reported.
