Posted on 01/08/2005 7:13:21 PM PST by ddtorque

Suspected rebels fired shots early Sunday at the home of a top police official near the United Nations' relief headquarters in the tsunami-ravaged Indonesian city of Banda Aceh, officials said. There were no casualties.

An unspecified number of Free Aceh Movement rebels fired at officers guarding the home of Aceh province's deputy police chief, located about 100 meters from the UN building, said police Sgt. Bambang Hariyanpo.

Police returned fire but the rebels vanished into the city, he said, adding authorities were investigating the incident.

Police and UN officials said the UN's relief headquarters was not the target of the shooting, in which there were no casualties.
