Tangerang ups security after Pamulang raids

TANGERANG: The South Tangerang administration has held meetings with Pamulang district representatives to improve security following raids in which three terror suspects were killed.

“The administration officials met with district, subdistrict, community unit and neighborhood unit heads to discuss coordination and security efforts in the area,” neighborhood unit head Abdul Halim said Wednesday.

The police’s counterterrorism squad shot dead three alleged terrorists in raids on Jl. Siliwangi and Jl. Setiabudi in Pamulang on Tuesday.

One of the suspects was later confirmed to be Dulmatin, one of the country’s most wanted men, believed to be involved in the 2002 Bali bombings. — JP
