At least three people were killed after police from Indonesia's anti-terror 
unit stormed an isolated airstrip occupied by a group of unidentified gunmen in 
Papua province, state news agency Antara reported yesterday. 

The three killed included two suspected separatist rebels after failed 
negotiations to end an occupation of the airstrip, Papua Police Chief FX Bagus 
Ekodanto was quoted as saying. 

Several police officers also suffered serious wounds after being attacked by 
bows and arrows, Ekodanto said. The group, which reports said was linked to the 
secessionist Papua Free Movement, had occupied the airstrip for weeks.
