Anger is growing in Indonesia and other parts of Moslem world over what has been described as the "ethnic cleansing" of Rohingya in Myanmar's Rakhine state. Refugees fleeing into Bangladesh say Myanmar's military has been leading a campaign of rape and murder against the homeless ethnic group. Thousands of Moslems rallied in capitals across Asia on Friday demanding an end to the violence. In Indonesia, the world's largest Moslem-majority country, protesters urged their government to cut diplomatic ties with Yangon. Indonesia's anti-terror unit Wednesday nabbed suspected bomb maker Rio Priatna Wibowo and seized a significant quantity of high-grade explosives from a laboratory west of the capital Jakarta. His arrest led to the capture of two other suspected snuffies in different parts of the country, Rikwanto said Sunday.
