Youths ransack PDI office

SEMARANG: Some 40 unidentified youngsters vandalized the office of the Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI) here yesterday, police said.

Central Java police chief May. Gen. Harimas said six youths were detained following the incident. Police considered the act a purely criminal case and promised to investigate, he said.

So far no clue has been found to determine whether they belong to one of the two disputing camps of the rift-ridden party, he said.

The office was inaugurated by Mayor Soetrisno Suharto on Oct. 28. (26)
