On July 30, 1949, around Tanah Karo, North Sumatra, Bagura and Mujahideen forces from Central Aceh lurked and waited for a convoy of tanks and 25 Dutch trucks.
The 45-strong squad used weapons and musket rifles.
Based on a number of sources, the Barisan Gurilla Rakyat (Bagura) troop led by Ilyas Leube with local guerrillas stormed the tanks and trucks blindly to make the troops marsose fog.
One of dozens of soldiers is named Abu Bakar who is dubbed with Pang or (The Brave) Safe Dimot.
In accordance with his nickname, Pang Aman Dimot is known to be brave and fearless when faced with the Dutch. In fact, the young man did not flinch despite being in a state of open war or melee war.
It was proven when the troops began to tire because of limited people, weapons, and logistics.
Moreover, when Dutch troop reinforcements further weakened the resistance of the fighters at the time, Aman Dimot insisted on staying in the fight.
The choice was retained even though Commander Ilyas Leube had ordered the troops to withdraw and leave the battlefield.
Aman Dimot, youth born Tenamak, District Linge, Central Aceh, this still refuses orders Ilyas Leube. He chose to continue the open war with his two colleagues, namely Pang Ali Rema and Pang Edem.
After Ilyas Leube and the rest of the troops leave, Aman Dimot and his two friends pretend to die around the dead bodies of war victims.
When the Dutch troops were making sure the victims were dead, Aman Dimot and his friends got up and attacked the Dutch troop with a ferocity.
Many of the Dutch troops died at that time. However, Ali Rema and Edem were killed at that time.
Safe Dimot continues to chase Dutch troops with swords, Dutch troops are confused because attacks from their weapons are not able to hurt, let alone kill Pang Aman Dimot.
However, due to fatigue, Aman Dimot finally arrested the Netherlands. The frustrated marsose troop for not being able to kill Aman Dimot, finally put a grenade into the mouth of the fighter.
Not quite up there, the Dutch troops even ran the body Pang Aman Dimot with tanks. Therefore, on July 30, 1949 the fall Aman Dimot in Rajamerahe, Sukaramai, Karo, North Sumatra. Aman Dimot's body is buried in that place.
A few years later, his grave was excavated and his skeleton moved to Tiga Binanga. Aman Dimot's corpse is then buried in Hutan Kabah Hero Cemetery, North Sumatra.
Waiting for a hero
For the Gayo community in Central Aceh, Bener Meriah and Gayo Lues districts to the Alas community in Kutacane, Aman Dimot's name is fragrant because of the heroic story of the struggle.
How not, not only as a fighter in his area, Aman Dimot even struggled for the Dutch not to enter Aceh from the Karo Lane, North Sumatra.
