The hill tribes have a long history of resistance to rule from the lowlands?whether French colonists, the former South Vietnam government or, most recently, the communists. A remnant band of allegedly U.S.-trained ethnic minority rebels known by the French acronym fulro staged raids from across the Cambodian border until the early '90s when they migrated to the United States. Vietnamese authorities are accusing one of the former guerrillas of engineering last month's unrest. Officials in Gia Lai seized documents they say are proof that "reactionary forces" were behind the protests. Signed...
