That was an internal political struggle between Suharto n Prawabo. According to many people whom I know, n spoken to... The "army went out to create a crisis" so that the REAL army personals can launch a civil war/coup to topple the regime then. Using the riot as a cover.
Economics at that time is bad too.. .Suharto team of ministers( economics) all resign as well. Simply too broken to be fixed.
Suharto resign as president after that.
Whole country went downwards in chaos... Habibie is appointed president to clean the shit. 1 year later, he left office a much happier man becos he was not longer the president.
