Attack on commercial plane in Indonesia's Papua kills two
A pilot and co-pilot of a small commercial Smart Air plane died on Wednesday after assailants opened fire on the aircraft as it landed at Korowai airport in Boven Digoel, South Papua province, Indonesia. The plane was carrying 13 passengers in addition to the two pilots. When the shooting began, the pilots and passengers left the plane and fled into a nearby forest, police spokesman Cahyo Sukarnito said. The pilot and co-pilot were killed, but all passengers were unharmed. Separately, Indonesia's military said the Free Papua Movement rebel group attacked a convoy of PT Freeport Indonesia, part of US miner Freeport-McMoRan Inc FCX.N, killing a soldier and injuring another officer and a Freeport employee.
