ALMOST ONE TON OF FIRECRACKERS DISCOVERED AT AIRPORT'S CARGO TERMINAL

Jakarta, Sept 9 (ANTARA) - Security officers at Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on Tuesday discovered 960 kg of firecrackers in the cargo terminal meant for loading into a flight to Batam in Riau Islands province, police said.

The dangerous goods were contained in a package covered by a false document, Jakarta Police Information Officer Senior Commissioner Ketut Untung Yoga said here Tuesday.

"The covering document said the package contained spare parts for children's toys," he said.

But an airport police officer named Ronny got curious and opened the package which proved to hold the firecrackers.

An investigation is now on to identify and find its sender.
