U.S. reporter faces possible expulsion<\/p>\n
THAILAND: A Thai government committee concluded on Thursday that
\nan article published last week in the Asian Wall Street Journal
\non alleged terrorist activity in Thailand was \"exaggerated\", a
\nruling that could lead to the expulsion of an American reporter.<\/p>\n
The chairman of the committee, National Police Special Branch
\nBureau chief Maj. Gen. Tritot Ronnrativichai, said a letter would
\nbe sent on Friday to the Journal's editor and to the Far Eastern
\nEconomic Review's Bangkok bureau chief, Shawn Crispin,
\ncomplaining about the article.<\/p>\n
Crispin, an American, was the only Bangkok-based reporter
\ncontributing to the story. The Journal and the Far Eastern
\nEconomic Review are both owned by the U.S.-based AP Dow Jones
\nCompany.<\/p>\n
The offending article, which appeared in the Journal on Nov.
\n7, quoted intelligence sources as saying members of an al-Qaeda-
\nlinked militant group, Jama'ah Islamiyah (JI), had used southern
\nThailand to plan the deadly Oct. 12 bombing on the island of
\nBali. --DPA<\/p>",
