JAKARTA: After receiving live bullets last week, General Elections Commission (KPU) chairman Nazaruddin Sjamsuddin said on Tuesday he recently heard from someone who had threatened to exercise black magic on him.

""So the threats to us are not only in the form of something physical or visible, but those that are intangible,"" he told a discussion with Forum Rektor, an alliance of rectors of private and state universities across the country that will carry out election monitoring.

Last week, Nazaruddin and KPU member Mulyana W. Kusumah received a death threat when an unidentified man delivered a package of 11 live bullets to them.

The police have not yet named any suspects in the case so far. -- JP
