'RI embassy to Myanmar tapped'

JAKARTA: Legislator Djoko Susilo said on Sunday that the
Indonesian embassy in Yangoon, Myanmar, was bugged by Myanmar's
military junta.

Djoko, of House Commission I, said an investigation conducted
in June showed that the junta had tapped Indonesian diplomats'
conversations.

He said a joint investigation by the National Intelligence
Agency (BIN), the State Code Institution and the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs had found a bugging device in the wall of the
ambassador's meeting room in Yangoon.

Djoko said Indonesia should review diplomatic relations with
Myanmar, as well as lower the level of diplomatic representation
in that country and summon the ambassador home for consultation.
