JAKARTA, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) -- Disaster Mitigation Coordination Squad in Indonesia's West Sumatra admitted that aids for survivors of earthquake in the province were misused, the Kompas daily quoted an official as saying on Friday.

    A preliminary identification showed that the perpetrators are officials of sub district, village and sub village.

    The squad's head Ade Edward on Thursday said that he already pocketed the perpetrators' name.

    "However, we can't name them. Now, our focus is how to deliver aids to survivors," Ade said.
