Indonesia: Aceh controls tightens

Foreign aid workers and journalists in the ravaged province must also now register travel plans, officials said.

Correspondents say the army wants to re-establish control over Aceh, where it has been battling separatist rebels.

The restrictions came as creditor nations discuss whether to freeze debts owed by countries hit by the tsunami.

A proposed debt freeze for some countries already has the support of several leading club members, but questions remain over the terms of any deal.
