World Briefing | Asia: Indonesia: Suharto Is Sued Over State Money

Suharto, 86, had a stroke last year and is said to have trouble communicating. Doctors deemed him unfit to stand trial.

Prosecutors said more than two dozen witnesses would present evidence this week that Suharto stole hundreds of millions from the government.
