Excerpt
Excerpt: The Embassy in Djakarta was hampered in its reporting on events in the areas outside the capital by the general confusion and chaos of the initial conflict between the Partai Komunis Indonesia (PKI) on one hand and the Indonesian Army and anti-Communist forces on the other. At first the Embassy viewed the fighting and violence as a potential military/guerrilla conflict and concentrated on the PKl's armed activity and its potential for terrorism. In telegram 1215 from Djakarta, October 27,1965, the Embassy recounted multiple reports of increasing insecurity and mounting bloodshed in Central Java, but could not determine whether it was caused by the PKI moving towards terrorism and sabotage, local PKI cadres reacting uncoordinatedly to pressures upon them, or the Army purposely moving to wipe out questionable elements and gain control .”
