Police Confirm Palu Terror Suspects' Links to JAT
Zaky Pawas | June 06, 2011

The National Police confirmed on Sunday that the suspects behind the killing of two policemen in Central Sulawesi were linked to a radical group founded by terror suspect Abu Bakar Bashir.

"They are members of Jemaah Ansharut Tauhid; they were trained by Abu Tholut before departing to Aceh," National Police spokesman Chief Comr. Boy Rafli Amar said.

Tholut is a convicted terrorist who is believed to be a part of both the Al Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah and Bashir's JAT.

The May 25 daylight attack on the police officers, who had been guarding a Bank Central Asia branch in Palu, the provincial capital, had been planned since last August, Boy said.

Plans were also developed, he said, to attack members of the police's elite Mobile Brigade (Brimob) stationed in Natabalu, Central Sulawesi.

Boy said the group allegedly plotted a series of robberies to collect funds for jihad, before moving on to target police. Between August 2010 and the Palu attack, at least three motorcycles were stolen by the group, he said.

The attacks on the police, meanwhile, were aimed at acquiring firearms to commit more crimes, Boy said. "They are collecting resources in the form of money and weapons," he said.

The confirmation came a day after two of the shooting suspects were killed in a police raid in Lage subdistrict in Poso, Central Sulawesi, which Boy said was based on a tip-off from a local resident.

The suspects were identified as Dayat, a?k?a Faruk, who allegedly used a US-made semiautomatic rifle in the Palu attack, and Fauzan, a?k?a Charles, who is believed to have driven the getaway vehicle and planned the attack.

"The two died in a shootout with our officers," Boy said. He said the police urged the suspects to surrender but they "replied with gunfire directed at the officers."

"They shot at us using the V2 [Pindad SS2 assault rifle] stolen from our officer in the BCA incident," he added.

Two other suspects in the case are in police custody. Aryanto Haluta, a?k?a Jafar, who allegedly fired at the police, and Rafli, a?k?a Furqon, who is believed to have driven Aryanto to the scene on a motorcycle, were arrested the day after the attack.

A source with the National Police's elite counterterrorism unit, Densus 88, previously told the Jakarta Globe that both suspects had confessed to working with Tholut when he visited Poso in 2009. Tholut is currently in police detention for his suspected links to a paramilitary training camp in Aceh.

The source, who declined to be named, said police believed Tholut was in Poso between 2009 and 2010 on the instructions of Bashir in order to regroup a terrorist cell after it was broken up in a series of police raids in 2006.

Boy said the suspected leader of the group in the Palu attack, identified by the initials S. or A.W., was still at large.
