ABC News Online Last Update: Monday, December 13, 2004. 0:15am (AEDT) Indonesian soldiers shoot six separatists in Aceh Indonesia's military says that soldiers have shot dead six separatists including a rebel police commander in restive Aceh province. Wahidin, 50, who is believed to be the guerrilla movement police chief for the Pidie subdistrict, was shot dead during a clash in the Trieng Gadeng area on Saturday, said an Aceh military spokesmen, Ari Mulya Asnawi. Three other clashes also pitted government forces and rebels from the separatist Free Aceh Movement (GAM) in South Aceh and Pidie district, leaving five other rebels dead. The military seized a firearm, a hand gun and ammunition. An estimated 12,000 people, many of them civilians, have been killed since the rebels began their insurgency in 1976, with rights groups accusing both government troops and the GAM of widespread abuses. Jakarta launched a major military operation to try to crush the guerrillas after peace talks with the government broke down in May 2003. - AFP
