Two escape from jail

PADANG, West Sumatra: Two convicts escaped from Pariaman
prison at about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday after they bent their cell
bars, Antara reported yesterday.

Quoting prison sources, Antara said the jailbreakers, Amri,
33, and Sabar, 25, escaped by clambering the unguarded back walls
of the prison.

Amri has been serving his two-year jail term since March for
stealing two desktop computers from Pariaman's Bank Rakyat
Indonesia. Sabar was sentenced to two years in prison in October
last year for repeated thefts.

West Java justice ministry office chief Ali Amran Jannah
confirmed reports of the jailbreak yesterday, saying he had
summoned several prison wardens for questioning. (pan)
