ABC 24/09/01 9:41:45 Scores of Muslim men in Indonesia have entered several international hotels in the central Java city of Solo, warning Americans and allies of the U-S to leave if revenge strikes against Afghanistan take place. Ginny Stein reports Hotel staff and witnesses say the men represented several Muslim groups. At least four hotels were targeted in the sweep. Staff were asked to hand over guest registers and warnings both verbal and written were left stating that if revenge attacks take place in Afghanistan all Americans and nationals from countries supporting the United States must leave Indonesia immediately. Threats were also made that the group would return to the hotels if any attack were launched. Muslim groups in Solo made similar demands last year when relations soured between indonesia and the United States on a range of issues. Ginny Stein, Jakarta. 24/09/01 9:41:45
