TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The National Police chief General Tito Karnavian is confident of a safe New Year Eve’s celebration. “A safe New Year, Insha Allah,” Tito said yesterday at Bangkalan District, East Java.
The cause for optimism, Tito said, is police success in cracking down on terror attacks planned by terrorist rings affiliated with terrorist Bahrun Naim.
The latest terror crackdown was carried out on December 25 in Jatiluhur Dam, Purwakarta District, West Java. Four members of Jamaah Anshar Daulah have been arrested, while two others were shot to death for resisting arrest, namely Abu Fais and Abu Sofi.
“We have cracked down on several terror rings,” Tito said.
