Indonesia's top extremist killed
On the 19th, the Indonesian police announced that the Indonesian security forces had killed Ali Kalola, the leader of the Indonesian jihadist group and the number one extremist in Indonesia on the 18th, and that the search and follow-up investigation of the slip-through personnel were underway.
The Indonesian police stated in a statement that the police and the military launched a joint operation in Central Sulawesi on the evening of September 18 to exchange fire with members of the East Indonesian Mujahideen organization in a mountain jungle, killing the leader of the organization Ali Ka. Lola and another member.
Another four members of the organization fled during the exchange of fire, and security forces are conducting a search.
There are reports that Ali Kalola was shot dead near the Pozo area, which is the “base camp” of Indonesian terrorists.
Ali Kalola is the number one extremist pursued by the Indonesian government.
In 2016, he succeeded Abu Varda Santoso, who was killed by security forces, and became the top leader of the East Indonesian Mujahedin.
The organization recently "claimed" several attacks against police and civilians.
Indonesian security forces have stepped up their efforts to clean up this organization in recent months.
