BANDA ACEH, Aceh: After months on the run, a prominent leader
of the rebel Free Aceh Movement (GAM) has finally surrendered to
the Indonesian military.

Acting spokesman for the Iskandar Muda military command, Major
Achmad Husein, said that Teungky Ayub, 51, GAM's self-styled
deputy governor for Aceh Rayeuk, surrendered to military
personnel in Kruemak village, Aceh Besar regency, late on
Thursday due to a lack of food.

The frail leader is now being treated by medical personnel
attached to the military command. -- Antara
