Jakarta – Four bodies have been found in the Indonesian province of Aceh, a region plagued by violence exchanges between government and separatist rebel forces, a press report said Monday.

All four bodies were found Sunday in the South Aceh district, the Aceh-based Serambi daily said. Two bodies identified as a fisherman and a local clerk were found near each other while two others found separately in two other locations remain unidentified.

An estimated 10,000 people have been killed, including some 1,600 this year, since GAM was founded in 1976 to push for a separate Islamic state, according to rights groups.
