Indonesian Officers Questioned in Death of Dutch Journalist VOA News 28 Jan 2002 12:38 UTC 
Indonesian prosecutors have begun questioning two army officers over the murder of Dutch journalist Sander Thoenes in East Timor in 1999.
Authorities believe that Lieutenant Colonel Pieter Lobo, chief of a military district in Timor, and lieutenant Colonel Wilmar Aritonang, who was in charge of troops on the East-West Timor border have knowledge of events leading up to the murder.
Mr. Thoenes was working for London's Financial Times when he was gunned down at a military roadblock in Dili in September of 1999.
