Military officers have arrested the last female member of the Mujahidin Indonesia Timur (MIT) in Poso.
The last woman in MIT, Tini Susanti Kaduku, alias Umi Farel, the wife of Ali Kalora, was arrested by the Operation Tinombala Task Force in Moengko Lama village, Poso Kota, Central Sulawesi on Tuesday.
Information from the task force revealed that a tip off last week led to the arrest. Kaduku was hiding in a house in Moengko Lama.
On Tuesday, the task force went to the house and confirmed that Kaduku was inside.
They negotiated with the residents and arrested Kaduku, who was in a bedroom, without any violence. She was taken to Poso police station and later sent to the Central Sulawesi police station.
Operation Tinombala spokesperson Adjutant Senior Commander Hari Suprapto said Tini was possibly |pregnant, so before reaching the police station, she would undergo a health check in Bhayangkara Police Hospital in Palu.
“We suspect she is pregnant,” Hari said.
Tini had followed her husband Ali Kalora along with other MIT members, led by the late Santoso.
With Tini arrested, all women in MIT have been arrested.
Previously, the task force arrested Santoso’s wife and Basri’s wife. The task force is still hunting for 10 other terror suspects.
