Indonesia hunts for suspects in alleged Papua mass killing

WAMENA (Indonesia): Indo­nesian soldiers hunted for rebels suspected of killing as many as 24 construction workers in restive Papua province, as an eyewitness account supplied by the military described a grisly mass execution.

The survivor’s account detailed the killing of at least 19 people, which if confirmed would mark the deadliest bout of violence in years to hit a region wracked by a low-level independence insurgency.
