TEMPO.CO, Poso- Santoso, one of the most wanted leaders of a terrorist network, was known to occasionally appear in Poso. Chief of Poso Resort Police Chief Commissioner Susnadi confirmed the report. "Yes, according to the citizens, Santoso appears in Poso from time to time,," he said, Wednesday.
With that information, Susnadi and his team would intensify the search and sweeping activities in Poso. They would also strengthen the intelligence on early detection, protection of vital objects, and routine safety patrol in the area.
