Travel restrictions issued for U.N. staffers to Aceh

Police have shot dead seven suspected militants in Aceh and the main Indonesian island of Java since late February when they launched raids against a militant training camp in Aceh.

The travel restriction does not apply to Indonesian staff and will stay in place until the situation has stabilized, U.N. spokesman Michele Zaccheo told The Associated Press via telephone. Foreign staffers already based in Aceh have not been told to leave but additional U.N. workers will not be allowed to travel there, he said.
