The Government military chief of Indonesia's insurgency-hit Aceh province has been replaced, after leading a huge operation that has so far failed to capture any senior rebels. Major General Bambang Darmono transferred his post to Brigadier General George Toisutta in a ceremony led by Indonesian armed forces chief Endriartono Sutarto in North Aceh town of Lhokesumawe, the military said. Mr Darmono, who will now become Mr Sutarto's assistant, told reporters after the ceremony that he was disappointed by his failure to seize any key figures in the rebel Free Aceh Movement (GAM) since arriving in the province on April 19. "If you ask me what one wish that I have not yet achieved, that would be the arrest of GAM leaders," he was quoted by state Antara news agency as saying.
