By Indonesia correspondent George Roberts - ABC.AU
Defence Minister Stephen Smith says he has discussed concerns over alleged human rights abuses with Indonesia.
Last month about 17 heavily armed men stormed an Indonesian jail and killed four inmates who were suspected of murdering a military commando.
The raid was professionally planned and described as a revenge attack.
Mr Smith, who has been in Jakarta this week, says there are suggestions either past or present Indonesian military personnel were involved.
"That's the subject of three separate investigations," he said.
He says he has raised concerns about that with his Indonesian counterpart, Purnomo Yugiantoro.
The country's anti-terrorism force, detachment 88, is also the subject of about 20 investigations over alleged human rights abuses.
Mr Smith says he has also discussed the Papuan provinces with Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
