JAKARTA - Indonesian p olice are stepping up checks around the country's police mobile brigade (Brimob) headquarters that has a detention facility after receiving alerts that militants are heading to the facility, which saw a dramatic two-day siege this week.
The heightened security also comes after a 22-year-old militant killed a police intelligence officer near the detention centre and was shot by the police. The man, identified as Tendi Sumarno, a student, was seen behaving suspiciously outside the lock-up on Thursday night (May 10).
