Police Nab Three Terror Suspects in Central Sulawesi SP/John Lory | November 27, 2012 Palu. Police have arrested three suspected terrorists in the town of Ampana in Central Sulawesi's Tojo Una-Una district, a police officer said on Tuesday. Adj. Sr. Comr. Dicky, the deputy chief of detectives of the Central Sulawesi Police, said the three were arrested in Ampana in the early hours of Sunday, Nov. 25, and were now being questioned at the provincial police headquarters in Palu. The three were identified as SH, 32, MF, 27, and MZ, 25. "They arrived from Tojo Una-Una on Monday at around 11 a.m.," Dicky said. He declined to give further details, except that police were still investigating the case. Local residents said the three men sold noodles at Kalan Mohammad Hatta in downtown Ampana. Police were said to have confiscated from them two motorcycles that had no registration plates, one laptop and a liquid substance that was suspected to be a raw material for bombs. In the luggage compartment of one of the motorcycles, police also found a hand gun with five bullets, leaflets containing a challenge addressed to the National Police Densus 88 special anti-terror detachment as well as a number of books on jihad. Police sources here said the three were known to be motorcycle thieves operating in Central Sulawesi. Brig. Gen, Dewa Parsana who heads the Central Sulawesi Police, said the three suspects were believed to have come from Malino, a transmigration settlement in Tojo Una-Una, and had only returned there recently after fleeing from the Tamanjeka and Uweralulu areas in the Poso Pesisir subdistrict of Poso, where police were conducting an intensive operation to hunt down terrorists. The operation followed the gruesome murder of two police officers in the area that police believe is being used as a base by a group of terrorists for conducting paramilitary training and exercises.
