PNG1: Mutiny rocks PNG as rebels rampage over redundancies.

The Australian Government, which has been the subject of protests in PNG for backing military staff cuts, expressed concern yesterday over the latest developments. "We hope order can be restored and the trouble does not spread,' a spokesman for the Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, said. "We have obviously been in contact with the Papua New Guinea Government." Australians in the Wewak area have been officially urged by Canberra to "exercise caution". There were local media reports yesterday that about 20 M16 and SLR weapons were taken at the weekend, but the Defence Force said there would have to be a stocktake to determine the number of firearms involved. The National newspaper reported that there were shouts of "Sutim ol ofisas, sutim ol ofisas (shoot the officers, shoot the officers)". "I am very disappointed - the buildings have nothing to do with their demands," Colonel Ur said. "We will sit down and discuss it," Colonel Ur said. "I think there are divisions among the group themselves on their demands." He said some disgruntled soldiers thought others had "gone overboard". Colonel Ur said soldiers with 20 years or more service were generally satisfied with termination packages being offered, but those with fewer years in the military wanted to know what they would be given.
