Police in Malaysia arrested 350 Indonesian workers after a clash between rival clans that appeared to have resulted in a murder. Police went to a construction site north of the capital on Saturday to investigate reports that a person had been killed in a clash between rival clans of Indonesian workers there. On arrival, they were met by about 100 Indonesians armed with machetes. Outnumbered five-to-one, the policemen left. They returned an hour later as a force of 300, including riot police. The Indonesians fled to a nearby jungle, but 350 of them were later rounded up, Gombak district police chief Massari Hashim was quoted as saying. Police also seized a large number of machetes and sticks. Police refused to comment.
