NO PROOF OF INDON. LINK WITH AL-QAEDA, SAYS HAROLD CROUCH

Canberra, May 25--Dr. Harold Crouch, an Indonesian affairs expert of
the Australian National University (ANU), has rejected the United
States government accusation about the presence of the Al-Qaeda
organizational networks in Indonesia.

In a conversation with ANTARA here Friday, Crouch said that the
American government had no sufficient proofs about the existence of
the Al-Qaeda accomplice in Indonesia.

"I am not very knowledgeable myself about it but I guess that up to
now there has not been any reliable clues about Indonesia`s link to
the Al-Qaeda networks. As far as I know there is no elements of the
Al-Qaeda terrorist group operating in Indonesia," the Indonesian
affairs expert said.
