The Courier-Mail 07/04/01 Indonesia may fix war monument 07apr01 INDONESIA offered an olive branch to outraged Australian veterans yesterday by suggesting it might restore a war graves monument destroyed by Muslims in troubled Ambon. The cross overlooking hundreds of Allied graves from World War II was blown up last year, one of many crosses that have been destroyed in Muslim-controlled areas of the ravaged Maluku islands over the past two years. "If it is true, the Indonesian Government will be ready to restore the cemetery, but I don't believe it was done by the Muslim community," said Sulaiman Abdulmanan, director of information at the Indonesian Foreign Ministry. He put the action down to "stupid individual Muslims". The cross overlooked the graves of more than 2000 servicemen, mostly Australian, who died at the hands of the Japanese in Ambon during World War II.
