2017-06-09
[Rappler] Indonesian police on Thursday said they arrested a man suspected of helping Indonesians join the attacks in Marawi City, as well as two others suspected of helping inspire a double suicide bombing in Jakarta.

Indonesia's National Police on Tuesday arrested a man suspected of helping Indonesians travel to Mindanao to join the Maute group, which is affiliated with the Islamic State. The police said four of the people he helped were being sought by Philippine authorities.

Of the eight foreign fighters confirmed killed in the Marawi clashes, two were Indonesians, according to Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana.

Meanwhile, two other men captured on Wednesday in Bandung are suspected of being involved in suicide bombings in Jakarta on May 24. Three policemen died in the explosions.
