Five terrorists detained in Indonesia
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] Indonesian police have detained five suspected terrorist group members in East Java, Indonesian law enforcement spokesman Ahmad Ramadan said during a news conference.
The detentions reportedly took place in several areas of the province. The detainees are suspected of smuggling weapons, training militants for a terrorist organization, as well as links with Islamists. During the searches, the police seized some donations that could have been used to fund the militants.
It is noted that the investigation into this case is ongoing. The terrorist group is suspected of a series of bombings in Indonesia. In particular, it is alleged that Islamists were involved in the bombings of two nightclubs in Bali, which killed 202 people.
That’d be Al Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), Abu Bakar Bashir‘s old outfit. Then in 2014, as leader of Jemaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), he pledged allegiance to ISIS, so it could be that the five are JAD/ISIS rather than JI/Al Qaeda. Perhaps another source will have that information at some point. |
