JAKARTA - A number of additional personnel were deployed to hunt down the East Indonesia Mujahidin (MIT) group led by Ali Kalora in Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi. These additional personnel are to strengthen the Tinombala Task Force.

"Additional information from the Indonesian Army and Navy Marines, as many as 30 people, have just arrived to be transferred from Poso," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Awi Setiyono, to reporters, Tuesday, December 1.

In addition, the National Police also collaborated with a number of religious figures from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), the Forum for Religious Harmony (FKUB), the Indonesian Kirsten Community Forum (FUKRI) to Komnas HAM. The goal is as a precautionary measure so that the incident does not happen again.

"Indeed, to reduce the Kamtibmas situation there, there are several victims from certain religions," he said.

On the other hand, said Awi, the embezzlement incident was not related to SARA. Based on the results of an interim investigation, the incident was purely the background of an act of terror.

"This is a pure case of terror committed by the East Indonesian Mujahidin and the Ali Kalora group," he said.

Previously reported, the terror act carried out by the MIT group led by Ali Kalora took place on Friday, November 27 at around 09.00 WITA and reportedly reached the police at 13.00 WITA. This incident occurred in Lemban Tongoa Village, Palolo District, Sigi Regency, Central Sulawesi. From this incident, four victims were declared dead.

"The four victims were named Yasa, Pinu, Naka, and Pedi. The four people were Ulin's family who were witnesses to the reporting," said Head of Public Relations of the Central Sulawesi Police, Kombes Didik Suparnoto when contacted by reporters, Saturday, November 28.

Based on the testimony of an eye witness, named Ulin, the MIT group led by Ali Kalora came to Ulin's house in Lemban Tongoa Village and took the Ulin family hostage who managed to escape.

Ulin's father, Yasa, and Ulin's husband, Pinu, were killed by this group. Meanwhile, the cause of the deaths of Naka and Pedi is unknown. Meanwhile, Yasa's wife, Nei, survived despite experiencing a number of injuries on her body. After carrying out the action, the perpetrators took 40 kilograms of rice and burned six houses around the murder site.
