NUDE WORSHIPPERS CLASH WITH ARMY BOAT-LIKE
Djakarta, June 9.
Twenty-six people died in a clash between troops and members of a nude religious sect in a village near Bandung last week, Lieutenant-Colonel Nawawi Alif spokesman for the West Java Military Command, told reporters today.
He said events in the village of Tjirojom began on Saturday when an Army officer went to investigate reports that a band of men and women, led by a man called Nawami, were praying, naked, in the local, mosque.
Pig!
The officer was chased out of the mosque by the nudes, who brandished bamboo spears and yelled "Who does not follow us is a pig!". The officer escaped.
Next day troops and police stood by while an Army lieutenant and a police officer entered the mosque. The lieutenant was killed by the naked group, the police officer was badly wounded, and the sect then attacked the soldiers, killing two of them.
The soldiers fired, first into the air, then at the sect. Nawami and 21 followers died immediately, 15 were wounded and 30 captured. The rest fled to the hills, Reuter,
