E. Java commander warns of unrest

SURABAYA: Brawijaya Military Commander Maj. Gen. Sudi Silalahi
on Friday claimed that there were several groups, who were
mobilizing the poor to create unrest on Christmas eve.

"We've detected these groups and will continue to monitor
their activities," Sudi said without identifying the groups in
question.

He said he had received intelligence reports that unrest would
be created to trigger religious conflict.

Sudi added the plan was part of an effort to topple President
Abdurrahman Wahid.

These groups, Sudi claimed, had a clear coordinated structure
and would start mobilizing crowds on Sunday evening. (nur/lup)
