Space For The Poso Terrorist People's Wanted List To Be Narrowed Down, National Armed Force General Farid Makruf Believes They Can Be Arrested

JAKARTA - The Madago Raya Task Force continues to pursue and narrow the space for six Poso terrorists who are on the People's Wanted List (DPO).

A number of mountainous areas in Parigi Moutong Regency, Poso to Sigi Regency, are suspected to be hiding places for this group.

Several empty old houses and huts became their targets, places that were often the terrorist hideouts.

The search was led directly by the Commander of Military Resort Command (Korem) 132 Tadulako, Brigadier General Farid Makruf, who has a background in the Army Special Forces Command, in the mountainous areas of Parigi Moutong Regency to Sigi Regency.

"I believe that if we work together, we can defeat this group", said Makruf, as quoted by Antara, Thursday, August 19.

According to him, apart from the terrain, the main obstacle in this operation is that there are still many supporters who support the group, both intelligently and logistically.

"Now the problem is that there are still many sympathizers who support this DPO both in intelligence and logistics, so as a result they can still move to avoid being chased and they still have the logistics. With logistics they can still survive in the forest if they don't get logistics, I'm sure they will go down to give up", he said.

He went directly to the field leading the combined personnel. "This is a form of concern for us, the head of the Central Sulawesi Regional Police and I to check the condition of the soldiers so that they are better. We also determine the tactics, so we must know the field conditions in the field so that the group can be found", he said.
