Issue No: 697; 24 April 2001The military has found that there were 7 main plotters of the attempted coup of May last year. This was revealed in a TV interview by the Commander of the Third Fiji Infantry Regiment (3FIR) Lt.Col Viliame Seruvakula. Lt. Seruvakula stated that the 7 included people of all ethnic groups, including ethnic Indian businessmen, ex-army officers, and some serving army officers. He stated that one thing which was common amongst them was that they had huge debts - in some cases requiring 2 generations to repay them, and were tax evaders. Seruvakula also sated: Seruvakula also stated that there was a strong likelihood of a confrontation between him and some other officers with pro-terrorist leanings if he stayed longer in the military, hinting that his own personal safety could have been at stake if he remained in Fiji. He has left for a military job in New Zealand. The revelations confirm every piece of information on the
persons behind the attempted coup which this website has carried over the past 6
months. |
