Tono Suratman, will be replaced Friday morning in a ceremony at the Dili headquarters of Indonesia's 164th military region, sources in Dili told Lusa Thursday. Suratman will reportedly be promoted to the rank of brigadier general and the position of deputy commander of the Kopassus, the Indonesian special forces accused of numerous human rights abuses in East Timor. Lusa has been unable to confirm whether Suratman will remain in East Timor in the course of his new Kopassus duties, nor ascertain the identity of his replacement. One source said the new East Timor commander would be an Indonesian military leader "perfectly fluent in English". ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Didistribusikan tgl. 13 Aug 1999 jam 01:39:15 GMT+1 oleh: Indonesia Daily News Online <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.Indo-News.com/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
