Indonesia's new armed forces chief installed

JAKARTA, Indonesia - An army general who was a close ally of former dictator Suharto took command of Indonesia's military on Tuesday, restoring to dominance a force with a long history of human rights abuses.\nGen. Endriartono Sutarto played a key role in last year's ouster of reformist President Abdurrahman Wahid and Wahid's of replacement by deputy Megawati Sukarnoputri. But he is mostly known as the commander of Suharto's bodyguards during Suharto's brutal rule.\n"On this occasion, I instruct all soldiers to be disciplined, to respect the principles of democracy and human rights and the supremacy of the law," Sutarto told about 1,000 troops assembled for a ceremony marking the handover at military headquarters.\nSutarto's appointment has been criticized as a reversal of Wahid's policy of ending the army's domination of the military\nby promoting top officers from the navy and air force - services considered untainted by human rights abuses.
