Worker finds live ammunition

JAKARTA: A construction worker, Suwarno, found live ammunition
on Saturday while he was working on Jl. Tanjung Lengkong in
Bidara Cina subdistrict, East Jakarta.

Suwarno found the ammunition after digging 50 centimeters
down. His shovel struck a hard object, covered in a plastic
sheet.

Suwarno unearthed the package and found two grenades, 20 MK-3
bullets and 125 FN-46 bullets inside it. He promptly notified the
Jatinegara Police.

Local officers then contacted the Gegana Bomb Disposal Unit,
who took the ammunition to their headquarters in Kelapa Dua,
Depok, for further investigation.

Second Insp. Waris of the Jatinegara Police asked residents to
exercise extreme caution when handling unidentified objects.

"It is always better to contact the nearest police station if
there are any doubts as to whether it may be explosive material,"
he told the Antara news agency. -- JP
