WAMENA, Indonesia - Indonesia is investigating reports that 31 construction workers were shot dead by separatist rebels in restive Papua province, the public works minister said on Tuesday (Dec 4), as he halted construction in the area.

"We're shocked and saddened to hear the media reports this morning," Public Works Minister Budi Hadimuljono told reporters in Jakarta.
