Jakarta – The Jakarta Police said Thursday that police in Depok have detained three members of the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) for vandalizing food stalls last weekend.

Jakarta Police deputy chief Brig. Gen. Raziman Tarigan said the Depok Police had questioned eight other people over the attack. "We can't justify such violence. The front's chief earlier told me that his members would not do such a thing," he said at police headquarters.

The three FPI members being held are alleged to have attacked several food stalls they suspected were selling alcohol. Raziman said he would be firm in punishing anyone engaged in violent actions.
