Police in Central Java have arrested another man believed to be linked to slain terror suspect Dulmatin, as the police watchdog called on the force to capture the terror suspects alive.   

The unidentified man was seized in Solo, Central Java, on Wednesday night.     

“This is connected to the raids in Aceh and [Pamulang],” police chief investigator Comr. Gen. Ito Sumardi said Thursday.

The police carried out a massive crackdown on suspected terrorist training activities in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam last month and arrested 22 suspected militants.

On Tuesday, antiterror troops launched raids in Pamulang, Tangerang, Banten, in which Dulmatin and his two bodyguards were killed.

National Police chief Bambang Hendarso Danuri declined to disclose the identity of the man arrested in Solo. “We will publicize his identity in time,” he said Thursday.
