Police Form Special Team for Buru Papua Armed Groups
BuletinNasional. Papua Regional Police (Polda) formed a special team to pursue armed criminal groups (KKB) which shot dead a number of employees of PT Istaka Karya and members of the TNI.
Papua Police Chief Inspector General Martuani Sormin claimed the formation of the team was supported by the XVII / Cenderawasih Kodam.
"We have formed a team to pursue the perpetrators. Our commitment from the Papua Regional Police will not stop to pursue, arrest and enforce the law against this KKB," Martuani said as quoted by Antara on Tuesday.
The Istaka Karya project workers were attacked by the KKB when building bridges at two points, namely Kali Yigi and Kali Aurak, Yigi District, Nduga Regency. Regional Military Commander Markodap III Ndugama West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB), Egianus Kogoya stated responsibility.
They were also responsible for the attacks that took place at the 755 Yonif Post / Yalet in Mbua District. In the attack, a member of the TNI, First Sergeant Handoko was shot dead.
Martuani said the formation of the special team was in accordance with the orders of TNI Commander Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto and National Police Chief General Tito Karnavian. The TNI, said Martuani, will provide full support to help the Indonesian National Police arrest members of the Nduga KKB led by Egianus Kogoya.
The group is estimated to have captured a number of military standard weapons from members of the TNI and Polri and some are suspected of being smuggled from abroad such as Mindanao, the Southern Philippines and partly from ex-conflict areas such as Ambon.
According to Martuani, the police had difficulty in pursuing the KKB because of the difficult geographical conditions.
"There the altitude above 10,000 feet with thin oxygen, steep slopes, unfriendly weather, no telephone signal," he said.
Police members, said Martuani, are not used to such terrain, while KKB is already accustomed because they are united and raised in such natural conditions.
