Four suspected Uzbekistan terrorists arrested in Jakarta; escape bid leaves one officer, one suspect dead

JAKARTA - Indonesia’s arrest of four suspected terrorists from Uzbekistan – and their subsequent deadly escape attempt – highlights how South-east Asia remains vulnerable to the dangers of radicalisation, Singapore authorities warned on Monday.

Three suspects later broke out of a detention facility, killing one officer and injuring three others in the process, said ISD in. Two were recaptured and one drowned in his bid to escape. “The suspects disseminated extremist propaganda materials to recruit like-minded Indonesians to conduct terror attacks in Indonesia,” said ISD.

During the escape, they stole a knife from a pantry at the detention centre and fatally stabbed an immigration officer and injured three others, local media reported.The suspects reportedly broke through the ceiling of the room they were detained in, and attacked officers who were having their pre-dawn meal.
