Jakarta (VNA) – Five
terrorists were arrested by Indonesia’s Densus 88 counter-terrorism squad on
October 2 for allegedly involving in the Eastern Indonesia Mujahideen (MIT), a
militant group linked to the self-claimed Islamic State (IS). The suspects were
captured in Central Sulawesi as they attempted to assemble bombs and spy
several police stations to plan terrorist acts, said the national police’s
spokesperson Dedi Prasetyo.
The Densus 88
confiscated a number of self-made bombs, weapons and IS flag from the location
of the arrest. The MIT, whose members have sworn allegiance to the IS group,
has been active in the Poso area of Sulawesi Island in recent years. The
group’s overall force had been reduced to seven fighters, including its leader
Ali Kalora, following recent killings of other members of the militant group.
In July, Indonesia
extended Operation Tinombala, a joint military-police task force that has
targeted MIT militants on Sulawesi since January 2016, by three months. Tinombala
replaced another joint operation to pursue the militants on Sulawesi, Camar
Maleo, which began in 2015.
