BANDA ACEH, NOV 11 : One civilian was killed in a mob attack and three soldiers were abducted in a clash between separatists and security forces in Indonesia's Aceh province, police and army sources said on Thursday.An international energy company also said it had started evacuating families of employees working in the oil-rich region fearing violence.The violence comes as the Minister for Human Rights Hasballah Saad prepared to travel to the province in an effort to defuse rising tensions and pave the way for a visit by President Abdurrahman Wahid.The clashes followed a protest by hundreds of thousands of independence supporters on Monday in the regional capital of Banda Aceh to press demands for a referendum on the future of their province.One civilian was killed and three were injured late Wednesday when a mob attacked and set ablaze a police post in the town of Samadua.
