500 LOCALLY BUILT GUNS SEIZED

Ternate, June 21 (ANTARA) - Security personnel have seized 500
locally built guns, 500 arrows, 20 machetes, and 14 molotov
bombs in a recent raid at Bobo village, North Maluku district.

"The thousands of locally-built guns and molotov bombs belonging
to the two conflicting parties were seized by security personnel
from the battalion 511 of the Brawijaya military district
command," the battalion`s commander Major Infantry Rusman said
on Tuesday.

The weapons were confiscated when a sectarian conflict erupted
at Bobo village, North Maluku district, on June 7, killing at
least 17 people and injuring 17 others.

The June 7 clash also led to the abduction of 19 people.

The Brawijaya troops are assigned in North Maluku to restore
peace on the islands of Bacan and Obi which have been engulfed
by sectarian violence since early 1999. Human rights groups say
thousands have died in the conflicts.
