Papua intelligence chief killed in Indonesia rebel attack

JAKARTA (AFP) - An Indonesian regional intelligence chief was killed in an ambush by rebels in the restive Papua region, the military confirmed on Monday (April 26) as the country's president vowed to crush the separatists.

General I Gusti Putu Danny Karya Nugraha, who headed Papua's intelligence agency, was shot dead during a shootout after rebels opened fire at a patrolling security forces unit in the Papuan highlands on Sunday.

"He was in the area as part of the operation to restore security and to boost the morale of locals in the region following a series of attacks by separatist and terrorist groups," National Intelligence Agency spokesman Wawan Purwanto told Agence France-Prese.

Security forces have been ramping up the military operation in the remote Puncak district after rebel groups killed soldiers and teachers, torching several schools and a helicopter in recent weeks.

President Joko Widodo said on Monday he had ordered the police and military "to chase and arrest" all members of the rebel groups in the remote eastern province.

"I want to emphasise again that there is no place for armed groups in Papua," Mr Widodo said.

depends on the gun, but certainly not with the low-velocity 105mm cockeril gun on the harimau
even on their manufacturer site said its only to deal with light to medium armored vehicle
also most 105mm gun is not designed to deal with mbt's

harimau is not even a real tank to begin with, its an ifv with a large gun
it offers neither the firepower or protection of a real medium tank

rip soldiers
papua is still an active combat zone
