JAKARTA - The Cartenz Peace Operation Law Enforcement Task Force ensures that the armed criminal group or KKB perpetrators of the shooting that killed the United States pilot Nicholas F. Goselin are the Bakusip group.
The group is a new group led by M. Mbalingga.
"From a number of uploads on social media, Bakusip claimed to be part of the group led by Elkius Kobak in the Yahukimo area," said Head of the Gakkum ODC Task Force, Commissioner Besar Police IGG Era Adhinata, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, July 4.
He said that since the shooting incident on Thursday (2/7), the ODC Gakkum Task Force has carried out a series of investigations through witness examination, interviews, information collection, and social media monitoring.

Shortly after the incident, M. Mbalingga issued a statement claiming responsibility for the action. Then Elkius Kobak also issued a similar statement and the perpetrator also displayed a photo standing on top of the PT AMA plane that had been burned.
"Based on the identification, the perpetrator was confirmed to be M. Mbalingga," said the Head of the Task Force.
