Bomb explodes in Central Java
2007-06-28
(Antara): A bomb exploded on a bank of the Bengawan Solo river in Cepu subdistrict, Blora regency, Central Java, at 2.15 p.m. Wednesday, injuring one person. There was no detail report about the type of the bomb, but it was reported that the explosion occurred near residential areas, damaging glasses of windows of several houses.

Riatun, a local resident whose house is located about one kilometer from the explosion site, said the blast was just like a thunderclap.

Mariono, a local resident who was fishing in the river, was injured and taken to Cepu Hospital for intensive medical treatment, according to Jatmiko, a resident of Cepu. The explosion created a large hole with a diameter of 3 meters and a depth of 2 meters. Police are still investigating the incident.

#2  Could have been a simple fishing accident, some one lit a cigarette near the "tackle box".

#1  Doesn't sound like muzzies, sounds more like one of the bombs dropped during WWII finally went off. Lots of that stuff still scattered around, especially in places like Burma, Java, and the Philippines.
