Indonesian army kills scores of 'rebels'

Rebels in Indonesia’s tsunami-devastated Aceh province accused the government today of abandoning an informal ceasefire after the military said it had killed scores of suspected guerrillas to protect aid deliveries.

The rebels disputed the military’s claim of killing 120 rebels in the past two weeks, saying only 20 of its fighters had died in skirmishes, while the remaining 100 were unarmed civilians.
