JAKARTA - National Police Chief General Idham Azis said that his party had deployed the Tinombala Task Force to Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi to search for the East Indonesian Mujahidin (MIT) group led by Ali Kalora for the murder of a family and burning of residents' houses, Friday, November 27.

The former head of the National Police's Criminal Investigation Unit emphasized that the state must not lose to terror groups that have committed acts of murder against the community regardless of their excuses.

"I have told the members, their firm action. If they find them then fight back, just shoot them to death, ”said Idham in his statement, Monday, November 30.

According to him, apart from the National Police, TNI Commander Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto has also deployed TNI troops to find and surround the Ali Kalora group.

"We will look for a number of places that have been the hiding places of the Ali Kalora group," said the former Kapolda Metro Jaya.

President Jokowi previously admitted that he had ordered the National Police Chief General Idham Azis and TNI Commander Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto to deal with the terror attack. He asked the National Police Chief to thoroughly investigate the perpetrators of the terror to the root. He also ordered the Commander to deploy his troops to guard the areas that were being targeted by terror. "I have ordered the police chief and commander to thoroughly investigate the network of perpetrators and dismantle the network to its roots," Jokowi said in his statement on Monday (30/11/2020).

Jokowi strongly condemns this barbaric act because it is clear that it creates provocation and terror in society with the aim of destroying unity and harmony among the nation's citizens.
