Dozens of bodies found in Indonesian village

More than 30 bodies have been found in a remote village in Indonesia's Aceh province where rebels have been fighting for independence.

Separatists have accused Indonesia's security forces of massacring the civilians in Krueng Tuan village, but police denied the charges.

The bodies were found yesterday, the head of the Indonesian Red Cross in the nearby city of Lhokseumawe said.

Many of them appeared to have been shot or stabbed, witnesses said.
