Commander of the Cenderawasih Command Maj. Gen. Ignatius Yogo Triyono (ANTARA/Evarukdijati) Jayapura, Papua (ANTARA) - Some 10 armed Papuan criminals, who torched a Mission Aviation Fellowship s (MAF s) Quest Kodiak aircraft at the Pagamba Village airstrip, Intan Jaya, Papua, on January 6, were led by Sabinus Waker, a military officer stated.
The notorious armed men set ablaze the utility aircraft shortly after American pilot Alek Luferchek disembarked his two passengers, Commander of the Cenderawasih Command Maj. Gen. Ignatius Yogo Triyono was quoted by ANTARA as saying here on Monday.
The act of torching the civilian aircraft, with registration number PK-MAX, was considered as being brutal on account of the fact that MAF s planes have, since decades, conducted a noble mission for the Papuan communities, he noted.
