Nothing like an eighteen month long "major offensive".Indonesian soldiers have killed 11 people in Aceh province where a major offensive against separatists is in its 18th month.
Soldiers shot down five Free Aceh Movement separatists in clashes in northern Aceh on Wednesday, said Aceh military spokesman Ari Mulya Asnawi.
The other six were shot in three districts on Tuesday and Monday, Asnawi said.
The government on Friday is expected to announce a six-month extension of a civil emergency in Aceh - in which civilian authorities can order press censorship, curfews and other restrictions.
