Indonesian soldiers blamed for shooting students
The head of the Indonesian armed forces, General Wiranto, says fourteen soldiers are suspected of misconduct following an inquiry into the killing of six students during this month's anti-government demonstrations. General Wiranto blamed procedural mistakes and bad discipline for the killings, which sparked several days of rioting in the capital and other major cities. He didn't say what action would be taken against the eight soldiers and six officers suspected of involvement. From the newsroom of the BBC World Service |
