Indonesian police warn of new Daesh-linked group
|
[AA.TR] A new group that has pledged allegiance to ISIS is responsible for a plot to carry out attacks on Indonesian security forces, authorities said Monday.
The police chief of Central Sulawesi province told Anadolu Agency that nine suspected holy warriors incarcerated
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
last week were affiliated to the group based in South Sulawesi’s thriving provincial capital Makassar City.
"This group has declared allegiance to ISIS," Brig. Gen. Rudy Sufahriadi said, referring to ISIS by another acronym.
Sufahriadi described the new group as not being related to the Sulawesi-based East Indonesia Mujahideen -- whose hideout in the jungles of troubled Poso Regency has been the target of a months-long military operation.
During the capture of the nine suspects Friday, police reportedly seized fertilizer, sulfur and nails they suspect would have been used in assembling explosives to attack local police and army headquarters.
National police front man Insp. Gen. Boy Rafli Amar said two of those arrested are minors.
"We are still investigating their role in the terror plan," he was quoted as saying by detik.com.
Amar also revealed that anti-terror squads had arrested two suspected holy warriors believed to have connections with a bomber who was rubbed out by police last month in West Java’s thriving provincial capital Bandung City.
The men are accused of planning attacks on several cop shoppes in the city "to take Dire Revenge on the police for the arrest of their friends", according to Amar.
Police believe the three belong to Jamaah Ansharut Daulah, a terror network that includes several bad boy groups that have pledged allegiance to ISIS.
