ABC 2/10/01 22:10:41 Indonesia's government will revoke the citizenship of those who travel to Afghanistan to fight against any United States military operation there. Some groups have called for a jihad if the U-S attacks Afghanistan -- where Osama bin Laden, Washington's chief suspect in the September 11 terror attacks on New York and the Pentagon, is believed hiding. Indonesia's Islamic Youth Movement says it has registered hundreds of volunteers for jihad. But the Jakarta Post reported immigration offices nationwide would be ordered not to issue the necessary travel documents. Indonesia's immigration minister, Muhamad Indra, said his country was not declaring war against another country. He said allowing Indonesians to enter Afghanistan to join military groups is tantamount to declaring war on the US. The statement from Mr Indra was the first indication of a possible tougher line on near-daily anti-US protests in the world's most populous Muslim nation. 2/10/01 22:10:41
