(News Today) - Three Indonesian embassies, namely those in Jordan, Beirut and Turkey, are coordinating with the Palestinian authority to determine the fate of Indonesian volunteers aboard the "Mv Mavi Marmara" aid ship attacked by Israeli troops on Monday, an official said.
"The coordination is being led by our embassy in Amman (Jordan) as the Indonesian representative office located closest to Palestine territory. We intend to find out the condition of Indonesians and all passengers on the ship as well as determine the number of casualties and those who were wounded. We will organize the evacuation of all Indonesians on the ship," Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman Tengku Faizasyah said here on Monday.
Israeli Navy troops opened fire on pro-Palestinian activists aboard a six-ship aid flotilla sailing to the Gaza Strip, killing at least 16 and wounding 30 others in the small hours of Monday.
The ships were attacked in international waters or about 65 kilometers from the Gaza coast. Gaza`s Al-Aqsa television showed footage of Israeli commandos descending from helicopters and clashing with activists, as well as several wounded people lying on the deck of the ship.
Israel`s army radio said between 10 and 14 people had been killed in the clashes which broke out after the passengers allegedly tried to grab weapons off the naval commandos who tried to storm one of the boats.
