JAKARTA - The Papua Police Chief, Inspector General Mathius Fakhiri, said that his party had mapped the KKB Papua which is now called a terrorist. The police have even identified six KKB Papuan groups that were actively carrying out attacks.

"The six groups are led by Lekagak Telenggen and Egianus Kogoya," he said by telephone from Jayapura, reported by Antara, Thursday, May 6.

The police, he said, would arrest the Papuan KKB group alive. The goal is that information from them can be extracted. Including the network.

"The law enforcement will continue to be carried out considering that the shootings were very disturbing," he said.

The law enforcement, he said, would be carried out in a measured manner in order to minimize its impact so as not to cause injury to the community.

Joint officers also embrace all elements of society including the local head of the region. "It is hoped that KKB members will be aware and willing to join other communities," he said.
