Indonesian protesters burn Australian flags
Indonesians have burned Australian flags over reports that
Australian spies tried to tap the phones of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
and his wife. About 200 people marched on Thursday to the heavily fortified
Australian embassy in Jakarta to demand an apology over the alleged spying. Other
protesters in the central Javanese city of Yogyakarta burned Australian flags
in a show of anger. Stirring the Indonesian outrage were reports quoting
documents leaked by Edward Snowden, the former US National Security Agency
contractor, suggesting Australia tried to monitor the phones of top Indonesian
officials in 2009.
