LANGSA, Aceh: The release of RCTI cameraman Fery Santoro and
around 100 civilians held hostage by Free Aceh Movement (GAM)
rebels, which was planned for Thursday, has been postponed for a
few days.

A spokesman of the International Committee of the Red Cross
(ICRC), Hendrasmo, said on Wednesday the release had been
postponed for "technical reasons."

The statement was made following a meeting earlier in the day
between ICRC officials and the Indonesian Military (TNI) at the
Iskandar Muda Military Command Headquarters in Banda Aceh, the
capital of Aceh. -- JP
