Jakarta, Indonesia - A suspected genie circumcised a 10-month-old baby on Indonesia's Java island while his mother was cooking breakfast, state news agency Antara reported on Thursday.
The report did not say whether the toddler, Riyan Abdullah, experienced any complications as a result of the operation, which allegedly took place early on Wednesday close to the town of Tasikmalaya, 400km southeast of Jakarta, the agency reported.
"When I heard Riyan crying, I went straight to his bedroom and couldn't believe what my eyes saw," Riyan's mother, identified only as Ineng, told Antara. "He had been circumcised."
The family immediately suspected it was the work of a genie, belief in which is widespread in Indonesia. They summoned a local clairvoyant to the house who confirmed their suspicions, the report said.

More than 90 percent of Indonesia's 210 million citizens are Muslim, though many still believe in spirits and the unseen world. According to Islamic tradition, Indonesian boys are normally circumcised, usually when they reach the age of six or seven. - Sapa-AP
