The U.S. Embassy is asking Indonesia for help in getting an American journalist safely out of the country. William Nessen is believed to be hiding in a rebel stronghold in the war-torn province of Atjeh. He was supposed to have reported to a military post in Atjeh by yesterday. But Nessen told The Jakarta Post by telephone yesterday that he won't leave the hideout until he's sure the Indonesian government will guarantee he can get out of the country without being "arrested, interrogated or stopped."
An Embassy spokesman says U.S. officials have asked the Indonesian government to do all it can to ensure Nessen's safety and that government has agreed. But a spokesman for the Indonesian military says authorities still want to question Nessen about his relationship with rebel leaders and the location of rebel camps. Nessen is a freelance writer and photographer who has reported on the insurgency in Atjeh for years.
