Jakarta - Indonesia tried to stop books written by three executed Bali bombers from being published but they made it to print in limited copies, a terrorism expert said Wednesday.

Amrozi bin Nurhasyim, Imam Samudra and Ali Ghufran, also known as Mukhlas, wrote the books called The Martyrs Trilogy in prison while they were awaiting execution for the October 2002 bombings.

Sidney Jones, adviser to the International Crisis Group think tank, said there was competition among radical publishing houses for their works before their executions last year.

Jakarta  - Separatist rebels on Tuesday shot and killed two motorcycle taxi drivers in Indonesia's easternmost province of Papua, police said.

The men were attacked while they were carrying two passengers in Puncak Jaya district, an area where rebels of the Free Papua Movement (OPM) have been active, said Papua police chief Bagus Eko Danto.

The passengers were injured in the shooting, which was the first fatal attack carried out by the rebel group this year, the police chief said.

Jakarta - Five Australians jailed for immigration offenses after landing a small plane in Indonesia's eastern-most province of Papua have been acquitted on appeal, their lawyer said Tuesday.

In January, a court in Merauke district sentenced the Australians to two and three years in prison respectively after convicting them of landing a plane illegally and entering Indonesia without visas in September.

"The appeals court accepted our argument that our clients obtained permission to land," defence attorney Efrem Fangoihoy said.

Fangoihoy said his clients could leave Indonesia as early as Wednesday.

They were released from prison and put under city arrest last week pending a decision on their appeals.

Jakarta - About 100 Indonesian Buddhist students rallied outside the Buddha Bar on Thursday, demanding it be closed for what they see as the sacrilegious use of the name.

The protestors burned incense and symbolically sealed the bar in central Jakarta with a yellow line.

The students gave the Jakarta administration a week to close the bar, a hip Paris-based franchise of restaurants, and threatened to stage larger protests if their demand was not met.

Jakarta - Thirty-four video cameras have been installed at an Indonesian national park to track every move of Java rhinos, the world's most endangered large mammal, the global conservation group World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) said Thursday.

The cameras installed at the Ujung Kulon National Park on the western tip of Java island are intended to find out more about the animal and help to prevent the species from going extinct, the WWF said.

There are fewer than 60 Javan rhinos in the world and Ujung Kulon is home to 50 of them, the group said.
