Rebels say Phillip Mark Mehrtens won't be harmed as long as there's not an armed intervention by Indonesia - but the government hasn't ruled out"other efforts" if negotiations fail.A New Zealand pilot taken hostage by separatist rebels in Indonesia has been pictured alive in images released by the group.
He was due to pick up 15 construction workers who had been threatened with death while building a health centre in the remote Nduga district. The passengers were released because they are indigenous Papuans, said rebel spokesperson Sebby Sambom. Photos and video released on Tuesday showed the rebels burning the single-engine plane and the pilot in a forest surrounded by people with guns, spears and bow and arrows.
