Wahid plays to a new gameplan
Article Abstract:
Indonesia Pres Abdurrahman Wahid has opted to suspend Security Minister Gen Wiranto instead of allowing him to stay on prending completion of investigations regarding Wiranto's role in the violence in East Timor province in 1999. A report by the the National Human Rights Commission and another by a UN Human Rights inquiry have implicated Wiranto and several other senior Indonesian military officials of direct involvement in the terror campaign and violence that followed East Timo' independence vote in Aug 1999. Wahid's strategy appears to be to keep Wiranto within the cabinet but out of the military, where Wiranto can do most damage.
