| Indonesian leader tells police to watch for terrorists |
| 2002-07-01 |
| Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri on Monday ordered the nation's police to be on the look out for terrorists who might be operating across the vast archipelago. Megawati, clad in a police-style uniform complete with insignia, told some 5,000 police gathered in Jakarta for the force's 56th anniversary — marked by a parade of marching bands and a show of force — to work more closely with the military. "Be on alert and keep anticipating the spread of various types and forms of transnational crimes including terrorism," she said. "Upholding security is very important for national development." Thank you for the platitudes. Avoiding rigor mortis is very important for leading a happy and productive life. |
