War materiel found in Kalimantan

PONTIANAK, West Kalimantan: Local residents discovered two
mortars in Tanjung Gundul area of Bengkayang regency here, some
120 kilometers north of Pontianak, the capital of West
Kalimantan.

The discovery was reported to local police authorities, who
asked the bomb squad from the West Kalimantan provincial police
to deal with the explosives.

Bomb squad officers went to the area on Thursday and defused
the mortars.

"They were apparently manufactured in 1969. We are
investigating further," said Adj. Sr. Comr. Didi Haryono, the
spokesman for the West Kalimantan provincial police. -- Antara
