> Indonesia deployed more than 20,000 troops and personnel to Jakarta after authorities opened an investigation into an alleged operation targeting President Prabowo Subianto. Three senior police generals have been detained on suspicion of illegally tapping phones belonging to the president, journalists, politicians and businesspeople. Authorities have not confirmed whether the deployment is linked to the scandal; the presidential palace said the alleged surveillance could be considered an act tending toward treason.
