Separatist rebels in Indonesia's Papua region shot dead American pilot Nicholas F Gosselin and set his plane on fire in Yahukimo, stating it was a message to the US and Indonesian governments for failing to address the conflict's root causes.
Papuan separatist rebels claim to have shot dead an American pilot and burned his civilian aircraft in Yahukimo regency, alleging it transported Indonesian military personnel. Indonesian authorities confirmed the burnt aircraft but could not verify the pilot's death or rebel claims, while the separatists called it a "message" to the US and Indonesian governments.
British academic Sarah Steele has criticized the US military justice system after being strangled by American fighter pilot Jacob Wulfson in Cambridge, UK. Despite the crime occurring on UK soil, US military police took over the case, leading to a court martial at RAF Lakenheath, which Steele found distressing and archaic.
