Meanwhile, the Indonesian Military (TNI) has suspended nine
soldiers from active duty for the killing of a German tourist.

Although the military has said all procedures were followed in
the shooting, the nine were ordered to take leave until
investigations into the incident are completed, Lt. Col. Firdaus
Komarno said as reported by The Associated Press.

"They are being investigated and are not on duty while it is
ongoing," Komarno said.

German tourist Lothar Heinrich Albert Engels, 54, and his wife
Elisabeth, 49, were camping on a beach Wednesday night when they
were fired upon by government troops who had heard reports of
"suspicious flashlights." The man died and his wife was injured.
