No spies deployed: ABRI

JAKARTA (JP): City Military Commander Maj. Gen. Djadja
Suparman said on Sunday that his command stopped deploying
intelligence officers at campuses after the massive May riots.

"After the May incident, we stationed no more intelligence
officers at campuses to monitor the students," Djadja said.

Djadja made the remarks in response to an announcement on
Saturday by Wiwid Pratiwo, a student of Trisakti University's air
transportation management school, was recruited as an informer by
an officer of the military police's presidential guard unit.

Wiwid, 21, mentioned the soldier as second class private BL.

May's rioting was sparked by a shooting incident on May 12
which claimed the lives of four students from Trisakti University
in West Jakarta.

Djadja said the military police were investigating the
person mentioned by Wiwid, from whom he claimed to have received
warnings several hours in advance that soldiers would open fire
on the afternoon of Nov. 13 near the Atma Jaya University campus.

"There are three second class private officers with the
initials BL, one is Bambang Leksono and the others are still
being investigated by the national military police commander,"
Djadja was quoted by Antara as saying.

He said Wiwid should have reported the case earlier to
security officers.

"If he said he was pressured by the security officer, he
should have come to us openly. I would have received him and
protect him from any threats," he said. (ivy)
