Indonesian Military (TNI) chief Gen. Endriartono Sutarto named on
Monday former East Timor military commander Brig. Gen. FX
Suhartono Suratman its acting spokesman, pending a definite
reshuffle that is likely to take place in the near future.

TNI information officer Col. Ahmad Yani Basuki said Suhartono, the
current deputy TNI spokesman, would replace Maj. Gen. Sjafrie
Sjamsoeddin who has been promoted as the Ministry of Defense's
secretary-general. Suhartono stood trial for atrocities in East
Timor, but was acquitted of all charges. The TNI also appointed
Commodore Edy Yusuf as the acting intelligence assistant to TNI
chief of general affairs Vice Marshall Wartoyo. The post was left
vacant by Maj. Gen. Dadi Soetanto, who has been named the defense
ministry's director general of defense strategy. -- JP
