ABC 25/09/01 9:09:30 Indonesia's defence minister tells police to protect Americans Indonesia's defence minister has told police to crack down on attempts to intimidate Americans after militant Muslim groups roamed international hotels and the airport in Central Java city looking for US citizens. Matori Abdul Jalil says arbitrary acts by members of the public, including conducting sweeps, are anarchic and the government strongly discourages those acts. He urged local officials and police to take stern action against anti-American raids, saying they would shatter international confidence in Indonesia and undermine its economic recovery. The US embassy, already on high alert, told its nationals to avoid all travel to Central Java province. It reiterated warnings first issued last month of possible extremist attacks against US facilities and citizens. On Sunday six militant groups, each of about 25 to 30 men, separately checked five hotels in Solo city with the aim of forcibly evicting them from the country. No US citizens were found. The government of Indonesia, has condemned the terror atacks on America and pledged to join the US war on global terrorism. 25/09/01 9:09:30 © 2001 Australian Broadcasting Corporation Copyright © 1999-2001  - Ambon Berdarah On-Line * http://www.go.to/ambon HTML pages designed and maintained by Alifuru67 * http://www.oocities.org/baguala67 Send your comments to alifuru67@egroups.com
