Indonesian Muslims want UN disbanded
Thousands of Indonesian Muslims on Sunday held a street rally in the Central Java city of Solo to protest Israel's actions in the Middle East and demand that the United Nations be disbanded.
Demonstrators at the rally, organised by the Muslim political organisation the Justice and Prosperity Party, burned US and Israeli flags as well as pictures of US President George Bush, the Detikcom online news service said.
Detikcom did not give a more precise figure for the number of protestors.
