The military said it parachuted hundreds of soldiers into the restive province and moved 15 warships into the area to "strike and paralyse" the Acehnese rebels in what was expected to be Indonesia's biggest military operation since its invasion of East Timor in 1975. The talks in Tokyo fell apart when the rebels rejected Jakarta's demands to lay down their weapons, drop their independence bid and accept regional autonomy. The rebels vowed to resist any attack by the military and to fight on for independence. President Megawati Sukarnoputri signed a decree late on Sunday authorising war in the oil- and gas-rich in province and imposing martial law. On Monday, Indonesian planes fired the rockets at a rebel stronghold about 20 kilometres (12 miles) east of the provincial capital of Banda Aceh, said Major General Erwin Sujono. He added that 15 warships had moved into waters close to the northern town of Lhokseumawe, an area with a heavy concentration of rebels. Soldiers were ordered to hunt down any rebels that refuse to surrender, according to a military chief There are more than 30-thousand government troops in Aceh, up against about five-thousand poorly armed rebels. Monday's attack signaled a return to military confrontation following a December 9 peace agreement between the government and the Free Aceh Movement that raised hopes for a breakthrough in one of Asia's longest running separatist conflicts. The accord unraveled in recent months following violence by both sides and mutual recriminations.
