U.S. drops plan for RI military strike: The United States has dropped its plan to launch a military operation against Indonesia to destroy the terrorist networks it believed had been operating in the country, Nahdlatul Ulama Chairman Hasyim Muzadi has said. "I heard it directly from (Deputy Defense Secretary) Paul Wolfowitz that the U.S. is no longer planning to launch military operations against Indonesia. That is the latest stance of the U.S.," Hasyim was quoted by Antara as saying in New York on Saturday (Sunday Jakarta Time). Hasyim did not say when the U.S. had originally planned to strike Indonesia or why the U.S. suddenly dropped its plan. Hasyim is currently in the U.S. at the invitation of the U.S. government. -- Antara
