Papua rebels shoot American pilot dead, torch plane to send ‘message’ to US

Rebels in Indonesia's Papua region shot dead an American pilot and set a civilian plane on fire, according to a spokesperson for the West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB). The attack occurred in the Yahukimo region and was described as a 'message' to the U.S. and Indonesian governments over their handling of the ongoing separatist conflict. The pilot, Nicholas F. Gosselin, was reportedly killed during the incident, which involved the burning of the aircraft. While Indonesian authorities confirmed the plane was found burned at a local airport with seven Papuan passengers onboard, they did not confirm the rebels were responsible or the pilot's death. The TPNPB claims the attacks reflect growing tensions as separatists acquire better weapons.
