Excerpt:

Friday's edition of Indonesian daily Suara Pembaruan published a photo of two Scorpion tanks, made by the Coventry firm Alvis, in offensive operations in Pidie sub-district, north Aceh, while an Indonesian military commander told The Observer he knew the Foreign Office in London would 'have a fit'.

The spectre of British-made tanks involved in the conflict is acutely embarrassing for the Blair Government, which came under pressure to block the sale after it was elected in 1997. Yesterday a Foreign Office spokesman said an investigation would be launched.

...Indonesian generals have repeatedly said they do not intend to abide by non-binding assurances made to the British Government about the use of weapons.
