1) Investigation Continues Into Attack on Trucks in Papua
Banjir Ambarita | August 31, 2012
Police in Papua’s Puncak Jaya district are investigating a shooting on Wednesday evening that left one truck driver fighting for his life.
Two trucks carrying building materials and staple goods were stopped in the Tingginambut area of Puncak Jaya by armed men, who opened fire on the vehicles before setting them ablaze.
One of the drivers, identified as Tilu, was shot in the neck and chest and is in critical condition at a Jayapura hospital.
Papua Police spokesman Adj. Sr. Comr. Johanes Nugroho Wicaksono said police officers working under heavy security had processing the crime scene .
“The two trucks, which were carrying staple goods and building materials, were set on fire. We have taken them to Mulia, the capital of Puncak Jaya,” he said.
The police are still gathering information from witnesses, he said, and are searching for the perpetrators with the assistance of the military.
Johanes said the two trucks were part of a convoy, but he did not specify if they had become separated from the other trucks.
“There was a convoy of 30 trucks crossing through Tingginambut from Jayawijaya, headed for Mulia. They were carrying staple goods and building supplies for Mulia residents,” he said.
Authorities are beefing up security along the Wamena-Mulia route.
“A joint team of military and police personnel has been dispatched to the area,” Johanes said. “But for the time being, it’s unlikely that any convoy will dare to cross through the area.”
The spokesman declined to speculate on the identity of the attackers.
“It’s true that Tingginambut is the territory of Goliat Tabuni, the OPM leader in Puncak Jaya, but the police don’t want to speculate,” he said. “We will only talk in facts. So, for the time being, we will call them [unidentified people].”
OPM is the Free Papua Organization
A witness said the attackers fired on the trucks from about three meters away. “They used an AK-47,” said the witness.
The witness, who did not want to be identified, said the attackers were believed to be Goliat Tabuni’s men. The reason for the attack, according to the witness, was that the truck drivers had not paid the rebels to pass through the area.
