Indonesia's anti-terror agency warns of possible terrorist attacks

2010-12-15 00:58:33 GMT+7 (ICT)

JAKARTA, INDONESIA (BNO NEWS) -- The Indonesian National Anti-terror Agency (BNPT) on Tuesday warned citizens about the possibility of bombings and other forms of terrorist attacks, the Jakarta Post reported.

BNPT Director Petrus Golose said the warning was issued after the arrest of four individuals from the terror group led by Abu Tholut who is believed to have conducted military training in Jantho, Aceh Besar.

Tholut, one of Indonesia's most wanted terrorists, was arrested on Friday and police have since been tracking his allies and investigating his training camps. The investigation revealed that the group was also conducting military training in other areas beside Jantho.

Golose added that the captured terrorists informed them that they had training camps in Central Java and Central Sulawesi. In addition, it appears that the group was apparently involved in military training in the southern Philippines and southern Thailand.

In March, police forces conducted a raid in Pemalang, Central Java, in which Dulmatin, the leading figure in the terrorist network behind the 2002 Bali bombings, was shot dead.

Central Java police chief Edward Aritonang said that his corps will do everything possible to disrupt any terror attacks in the area. Golose, however, said that despite police efforts, the war against terrorism requires the involvement of all elements in society.

Also on Tuesday, Indonesian authorities announced the arrest of four more suspected terrorists following the capture of Abut Tholut. They are suspected of collaborating with Tholut and may have been planning Mumbai-style terror attacks.
