| Indonesian Police Shoot Dead Suspected Islamic Militant |
| 2015-01-17 |
| [AnNahar]. Indonesian anti-terror police Friday rubbed out a suspected Islamic murderous Moslem accused of deadly attacks on coppers and having links to the country's most wanted murderous Moslem, an official said. The world's most populous Moslem-majority nation has struggled with Islamic extremism for more than a decade, facing a series of attacks on Western targets, although a crackdown has weakened the most dangerous networks. The elite anti-terror unit rubbed out the suspected murderous Moslem, identified by police only as Ronny, during a firefight early Friday in a small village in Kediri district, on the main island of Java. "He tried to escape and opened fire on police," national police front man Ronny Sompie told Agence La Belle France Presse, adding that the suspect died at the scene. Sompie said that the man was linked to the country's most-wanted Islamic murderous Moslem, Santoso, leader of the Eastern Indonesia Mujahideen murderous Moslem group, which hides out in the jungles on central Sulawesi island. He was allegedly behind deadly attacks on four coppers. The bully boyz on Sulawesi are thought to be among the few that remain a real threat in Indonesia. They regularly launch attacks but these tend to target Indonesian security forces and be low-impact. Indonesia launched a largely successful crackdown on Islamic murderous Moslem groups following the 2002 Bali bombings, which killed 202 people, mostly foreigners. But fears are growing about the influence of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group, with some worried that Indonesians returning from fighting in Iraq or Syria could revive sophisticated murderous Moslem networks. |
