Files reveal details of US support for Indonesian massacre

In this Sunday, Oct. 15, 2017, photo, an army officer speaks to school children to explain the details of the Pancasila Sakti Monument which was built to commemorate an abortive coup in 1965 that the military blamed on Indonesia’s Communist Party and subsequently led to the anti-communist purge in 1965-1966, in Jakarta, Indonesia. Declassified files have revealed new details of American government knowledge and support of an Indonesian army extermination campaign that killed several hundred thousand civilians during anti-communist hysteria in the mid-1960s.
