ROME, April 21 -- The Greek army set up a new government today with military leaders in key positions.
It was not clear whether the bloodless coup, which began at Thursday midnight, had the full blessing of King Constantine. But the King did sign a royal decree suspending all articles of the Constitution, proclaim military rule and preside at a ceremony that installed the former chief prosecutor of Greece's Supreme Court, Constantine Kolias, as its new premier.
And the Army reportedly arrested a number of the King's political foes, including former Premier George Papandreou and his son Andreas, who would have led forces opposed to the king in parliamentary elections next month.
Radio Athens, controlled by the Army, did not say what would be done with the political prisoners. Nor did it say whether the Army has any plans to hold the elections as scheduled.
