JAKARTA - The National Police Criminal Investigation Unit stated that two firearms (senpi) of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) special forces when attacking officers on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road were assembled. This refers to the bagged ballistic test results.

"The results of the ballistics expert's examination stated that the two weapons used by the FPI troops were non-manufactured weapons," said the Director of General Crimes at the National Police Criminal Investigation Unit, Brigadier General Andi Rian, in his statement, Sunday, December 20.

But about the origins of this senpi, Andi cannot clearly explain it. He admitted that the focus of the investigation was still on use.

"Investigators are more focused on the facts of their use. If the origin is not clear," he said.

The use of firearms was revealed when the police held a reconstruction of the incident. At the first location, precisely on West Karawang International Street, in front of the Novotel Hotel, these irregulars of Rizieq Shihab's guard attacked the police car that had previously been tailing.

The police are said to have fired warning shots. Then the four members of the laskar who had previously carried out the attack decided to return to their car. But the two laskar who were previously only in the car got out and shot the police car three times.

The police said that was why they returned fire. But the two soldiers immediately got back into the Chevrolet car. Then they fled.
