Officials have pointed to Suharto's fugitive son Tommy and other New Order figures, to Muslim radicals, and to at least seven generals, five of whom are still active. Hartono and Prabowo both hotly deny having any part in the bombings. Hartono has threatened legal action against the president for going public with the accusation. I live my life by my religion.
Terrorism is against religious teaching.
Still, he makes no secret of his contention that life was better under Suharto. You can't start from scratch like we're trying to do. Maybe Suharto was too strict, but now it's far too relaxed. That may be true of the army as an institution. Certainly, the military's footprints have often been obvious.
