JAKARTA: The city police is still questioning a 25-year-old
woman who was arrested on Saturday night at the Jakarta police
headquarters carrying material suspiciously resembling a pipe
bomb.

Eni, who was from Blora, Central Java, said that she was going
to give the material to a police officer, reported city police
spokesman Sr. Comr. Prasetyo on Monday. However, it turned out
that the officer in question had gone AWOL and subsequently
dismissed. The officer had been on duty in Aceh, Prasetyo was
quoted by Antara as saying.

The police also arrested Tarmizi, the driver of the taxi that
brought Eni to the police headquarters.

From the suspects, police seized two tubes measuring three
centimeters in diameter and 10 centimeters in length, which
contained some chemical powder and was equipped with a fuse. --
