T
he National Police’s counterterrorism squad, Densus 88, searched the houses of two terrorism suspects in the village of Banyudono in Boyolali regency, Central Java, on Friday.
The suspects, Winarno and Murjianto, were arrested Thursday and stand accused of joining terrorist network Neo Jamaah Islamiyah. Winarno and Murjianto were neighbors and known by other villagers to be active in religious activities.
The search at the two properties, which are close to each other, began at 2:30 p.m. and also involved Boyolali Police, which deployed armed officers to stand guard in front of the houses. Curious villagers crowded the area during the search operation.
“Densus 88 is in charge of the search, and we are helping provide security, so that Densus 88 can learn more about the case,” Boyolali Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. M. Agung Suyono said.
Agung added the two men had been monitored for the past year. “They are suspected of playing a role by providing logistics for the Neo Jamaah Islamiyah network,” he said. (evi)
