A screen grab of Abu Wardah Santoso in the YouTube video, which
has now been taken down, was captured by the Jakarta Post.
JAKARTA, Indonesia – Indonesian police
are warning against public disorder following the online publication of a video
of the country's most wanted militant calling on his followers to continue
attacks on anti-terror officers.
National police spokesman Maj. Gen. Ronny Frengky Sompie
also said Wednesday that police are investigating the video that appeared
Tuesday on YouTube. In it, Abu Wardah Santoso says militants must continue to
fight Indonesia's "Densus 88" anti-terror squad or face not only
disaster but God's eternal punishment in hell.
Santoso is alleged to command eastern Indonesia mujahadeen.
He is wanted for several attacks in Java and Poso in Central Sulawesi province,
where a Muslim-Christian conflict killed at least 1,000 people from 1998 to
2002.
Recent terror attacks in Indonesia have targeted security
forces and local "infidels" instead of Westerners.
