Three people have been killed in Indonesia's restive Papua region with
police saying the victims were civilians, while a rebel group that took responsibility said they were undercover intelligence officers.
The clash comes as Indonesian president Joko Widodo on Sunday was to visit the restive region -- wracked by a decades-old independence insurgency -- after months of mass demonstrations and deadly unrest.
Police said rebels killed three motorbike taxi drivers on Friday in Intan Jaya, a central region in Indonesia's easternmost territory.
