JAKARTA - National Police Headquarters said the FPI special laskar guarding Rizieq Shihab used a firearm when they attacked officers on the Jakarta-Cikampek KM 50 toll road. The police found soot in the hands of one of the paramilitary troops.

"As a result of the interim investigation, we have the fact that weapons and sajam were found at the TKP. The use of senpi was found by getting soot in the hands of the perpetrators," said the Head of Criminal Investigation of the National Police, Komjen Lisyto Sigit Prabowo, to reporters, Thursday, December 10.

Soot is the fine, soft grains of charcoal. It is suspected that the soot appeared due to the soldiers' use of senpi.

In addition, there is also evidence of a vehicle belonging to Polda Metro Jaya which is said to have been damaged by the special laskar. With this evidence, investigators continue to collect other clues.

Listyo emphasized that he would investigate this case transparently. So, there are no parties who will be suspicious about the results of the investigation.

"To maintain the professionalism of the transparent investigation, investigations are carried out in a scientific manner with Propam's internal supervisor," he said.

Previously, the police had two pieces of evidence under investigation. First about the possession of firearms (senpi) which were said to be used by members of the FPI special laskar guarding Rizieq Shihab.

Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Yusri Yunus, said that in possession of this senpi the police investigated a 9 mm bullet. Currently, this bullet is still being tested for ballistics.

"It's still a ballistic test, so we are still studying every evidence," said Yusri.

When the ballistic test is completed, said Yusri, the police will take other legal steps. Thus, strengthening the legal basis of ownership of the senpi.

"Later we will hold pre-reconstruction and reconstruction. In time we will convey it," he said.

On the other hand, Yusri emphasized that the two weapons used as evidence in the assault case were used by special troops. This is based on other evidence that has been collected.

"I emphasize here that the investigators have gathered that there is evidence that the gun is the owner who carried out the attack," he said.

Then, other evidence is in the form of CCTV footage. The police said that this CCTV footage would later answer the doubts of all parties.

However, for now the recording cannot be delivered. This is because investigators are still collecting them.

Collecting CCTV footage is also not an easy matter. Investigators encountered several obstacles when trying to compile several recordings into one unit. This is because the recording is divided into three different servers.

"There are indeed 3 series of CCTV servers available, then the Cikampek road is still being collected by investigators to extract it," he said.
