Police still in the dark about bombers
JAKARTA (JP): Police are still in the dark about theperpetrators of Sunday's blasts,
even after they questioned 31 witnesses and arrested one suspect.
The only suspect is Dodi Prayoko alias Buyung, the parking attendant of Eksotis
discotheque in Mangga Besar, Central Jakarta.
Ironically, Buyung was the one who found the bomb package in the parking lot of the
discotheque and put it next to a food stall, where it exploded.
He is charged with negligence as he should have put it in a safe place and then
reported the finding to the police. If found guilty, he could be sentenced to five years in
prison.
The blast outside Eksotis discotheque seriously wounded two victims, Hadi Suhadi
and Ihin Solichin, who were hospitalized separately at Husada hospital in Jl. Mangga
Besar, West Jakarta, and Kramat Jati Police hospital in East Jakarta. Ihin is the
owner of a food stall, while Hadi was a buyer.
Another bomb exploded in the car park of the Jayakarta hotel on Jl. Hayam Wuruk,
West Jakarta, destroying three vehicles but no one was wounded.
Two other bombs were found separately in the parking lot of Sarinah shopping center
in Central Jakarta, and in front of Hayam Wuruk Plaza, West Jakarta, where 1001
discotheque is located. Neither bomb exploded.
"We have no suspects as yet," police spokesman Sr. Comr. Anton Bachrul Alam said
on Tuesday. (lws/ylt)
