The Special Detachment (Densus) Anti-terror 88 Police together with a team from the Mobile Brigade Corps of the Central Sulawesi Police arrested three suspected terrorists in Palu City and Ampana in Tojo Una-Una Regency, today.

In Palu City, a suspected terrorist named Wawan alias Mut. Meanwhile, in Ampana, two people were arrested with the initials AS and RR. The three were arrested on suspicion of being involved in the East Indonesia Mujahidin (MIT) group network.

Wawan was arrested at one of his relatives' homes in Baiya Village, Tawaeli District, Palu City. He was in Palu for the past month. Wawan is on the wanted list (DPO), and is known to be a fugitive 11 years ago.

Densus 88 secured evidence in the form of bags, cell phones and identity cards.

Head of RT 005/RW 003 Baiya Adi Suwarman Village said he did not know Wawan's whereabouts while living in the house.

"Wwan's family never reported to the local RT," he said as quoted by Antara, Thursday, December 19.

According to him, the arrest was an important lesson for the community. If there are guests or relatives who come, they should report to the RT to avoid such incidents.
