Indonesian troops hunted rebels in jungle and villages across Aceh on Thursday as their officers considered imposing night curfews on flashpoints in the province. The military said it had killed four separatists overnight, taking the total since Monday to 12. It added that a district rebel commander had surrendered on Wednesday, the second senior separatist to do so in a week. *******/Beawiharta.
