Emotion is strong on the Island of Pulau Belitung as revelation were made about the action of the recently arrived N-51, outrage is rampant in the city and village secured by the soldiers of the Task-Force as revelation have been made about the use of weapons of war that are forbidden under many regulation. Usage of napalm and White Phosphorus have been confirmed by many first hand accounts and proof brought to some of our reporters. Some images show fighting between N-51 troopers and rebels and indeed mortar shells producing the symptomatic light of white phosphorus. Other footage shows a jet fighter with a clear N-51 marking on it dropping a canister producing huge flames, napalm.

Even worse there has been a report of the Incident of Gantung eleven civilians were killed because of lack of care of a mortar crew, all of them burnt to white phosphorus. Footage here shows the direct aftermath of the explosion, civilians dying to white phosphorus amongst troopers of the N-51, hell on earth. In the face of all those accusations the public relation of the N-51 stayed rigorously silent.

The only statement made is that the worsening situation on the island prevented them from making a clear statement, since those revelations erupted, rebels have been animated by a second breath and several locals smugglers have provided them with weapons and supplies to repel the mercenaries. Heavy fighting erupted around the N-51 strong point of the island with the one near the village of Gantung having to be abandoned due to the destruction of their mortar emplacement in the incident.

The N-51 losses skyrocketed over the last day of fighting as reports state that some platoons might have been wiped out or reduced to bare minimum effectiveness after several costly counter-attack from the rebels who loss numbers in the hundreds according to our report, the “smooth peacekeeping operation” became a bloody struggle both for the N-51 itself and it’s reputation.
