-

Indonesian troops are searching remote jungles for separatist­s who massacred constructi­on workers. Nineteen civilians and one soldier were reported killed in Nduga, Papua province, after separatist­s turned on workers brought in from other islands to build a bridge. One of the migrant workers caused offence by taking a photograph during ceremonies on Saturday to mark what locals regard as Papuan independen­ce day, according to the military.
