| [Straits Times] INDONESIAN police killed one suspected terrorist and arrested four others during two raids in Aceh province on Monday, a senior officer said. The raids came as police revealed that six alleged terrorists detained elsewhere on Sumatra island on Sunday included suspects who took part in the 2004 truck bombing of the Australian embassy in Jakarta. 'Police arrested four terror suspects and shot dead a suspect in two anti-terror raids today,' Aceh police chief detective Esa Permadi told AFP. 'The men arrested are suspected of participating in military training activities in Aceh.' The man killed by police during a raid on a house in Aceh Besar district was identified as Enaltao, 38, who was suspected of assisting Indonesians in military training in the southern Philippines. One suspect was also arrested in that operation and three others were detained after another raid on a shophouse in Banda Aceh, the provincial capital, detective Permadi said. National police spokesman Edward Aritong said the six men arrested at a road block on Sunday were part of a new terrorist group that was disrupted in February when police discovered a training camp in Aceh. |
