Indonesia says 17 people slain by Papua rebels were gold miners
|
[APNEWS] Indonesian authorities on Thursday denied claims by separatist rebels in the Papua region that at least 17 gold miners slain by turbans were members of security forces.
The rebels said they attacked a gold panning camp in the Yahukimo district of Highland Papua province, killing 17 people, including five on Wednesday. Spokesman Sebby Sambon of the rebel West Papua Liberation Army claimed the victims were members of Indonesia's army disguised as gold miners.
He said his group had warned all workers to leave Indonesian government projects as well as traditional gold mining areas, or they would be considered part of the Indonesian security forces.
| Ah. It’s not that they actually were Indonesian soldiers, but that the vicious idiots identified them as soldiers. |
''The West Papua Liberation Army is responsible for the attacks at Yahukimo's gold panning camp,'' Sambom said. ''Because they were part of Indonesian intelligence and soldiers.''
