Victim from Ambon sent to Jakarta

JAKARTA (JP): A victim of Ambon's ongoing unrest was flown on
Wednesday to Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital in Central
Jakarta with an arrow still stuck in his left eye. He was taken
for further treatment there because the local hospital did not
have the facilities, a doctor at the hospital in Ambon said on
Thursday.

The victim, Afdel Rizal (21), was accompanied by his sister
and a doctor from Ambon, and his trip was paid by Al Fatah, the
Islamic Foundation.

The foundation also promised to pay the hospital fees for
Afdel, his sister said.

Doctors at Cipto Mangunkusumo said they were waiting for the
CAT scan report before doing an operation on Friday.

Afdel was hit by an arrow during a riot in his hometown in
Central Maluku. The incident happened on Sept.1, but Afdel had to
wait for a week before he could be sent to Jakarta. (04)
