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.
