The South Sulawesi Police Chief Brig. Gen. Suparni Parto has urged six people allegedly involved in a series of 2005 Poso terror attacks to surrender.





The suspects who are still at large are Taufik Bulaga alias Upik Lawanga, Iin aka Brur, Nanto aka Bojel, Iwan Asapa aka Ale, Enal aka Tao and Hamdara aka Papa Yus. The police have suspected they took part in the attack at Tentena market that claimed 22 lives in May 2005.

“We promise we will protect them without neglecting legal processes,” Suparni said as quoted by Antara state news agency Sunday.

He added he was suspected all suspects hadfled outside Central Sulawesi.

“We have coordinated with related offices to hunt for their whereabouts,” he said, adding the police had yet to know the link between the suspects with those who bombed JW Marriot and Ritz Charlton Hotels in Kuningan, South Jakarta on July 17. (ewd)
