"We will protest this deplorable GAM action which is a violation of the Joint Understanding between Indonesia and GAM," Senior Superintendent (new name of the rank of Colonel) Ridwan Karim said. Speaking to the press here Monday, Karim said a 12-man detachment of Mobile Brigade was sprayed with bullets by GAM members on Sunday in Blang Kareng village, Nisam subdistrict. The ceasefire agreement officially called "Joint Understanding for a Humanitarian Pause" was signed in Switzerland last May 12 and became effective on June 2. Karim said one article of the agreement clearly stipulated there would be no attack or any other provocative action in the field during the humanitarian pause. He said the government would file a formal protest note to GAM and also to the monitoring team of the joint committee in Geneva. In addition, Karim said, he would ask the Aceh police chief to investigate the incident. "I will request the Aceh police chief to investigate the attack and detain the culprits for further legal actions," Karim added. Meanwhile, North Aceh district police chief Superintendent (equivalent to Lieutenant Colonel) Syafei Aksal said security forces had mounted an operation to pursue the GAM members involved in the attack. "The police, assisted by members of the Army and the Marine Corps will continue to chase the GAM elements that carried out the attack," Aksal said. Meanwhile, a GAM spokesman reportedly said the attack on the Mobile Brigade unit at Blang Kareng happened because the GAM personnel concerned had been "forced" to do it.
