Indonesia police have arrested 53 militants suspected of planning an attack on independence day
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

Some of those arrested were from the group Jemaah Islamiah (JI), a jihadist network with ties to al Qaeda, or the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
-inspired Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), blamed for a church bombing on Sulawesi island in March, police said.

Argo Yuwono, a national police spokesperson, told news hounds the arrests had taken place across 11 provinces in the week leading up to Indonesian independence day on Tuesday.

"They went after people from the government," he said, without specifying which people.

"They wanted to use the momentum of the independence day."

Argo said police had seized weapons, ammunition, and donation boxes used to raise funds.

A resurgence in attacks has been linked to the hundreds of Indonesians that went to Syria and Iraq to fight for the Islamic State before returning.

More than 120 bully boyz have been arrested this year, said an official at the country’s counter-terrorism unit on Friday.
