Indonesia nabs IS-linked groups planning terror attacks

ProMASS News Bureau: Feb 15, 2016:

Indonesian police have arrested dozens of people from radical Islamic groups who were plotting attacks on airport and other targets in the near future, the national police chief said today. The arrest follows last month’s attacks in Jakarta which killed four civilians and four assailants.

Police have launched a crackdown across the country, suspecting a broader extremist network helped carry out the assault. Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country, suffered several major bomb attacks by Islamic radicals between 2000 and 2009, including the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people.
