The Jakarta Post, Palu, Fri, September 22, 2017
Terror convict Tini Susanti Kaduku, the wife of terror fugitive Ali Kalora – second-in-command at the East Indonesia Mujahidin (MIT) – has started serving her three-year sentence at Palu penitentiary, Central Sulawesi, for aiding and abetting a terror organization.
Tini, alias Umi Farel, was sentenced to three years in prison by the East Jakarta District Court in May for her role in aiding and abetting the MIT's terror campaign, and was placed in the custody of the National Police in Jakarta immediately following her sentencing.
Tini was arrested in Poso's Moengko Lama village in October 2016 during a raid carried out under the joint military-police Operation Tinombala. Tini was the last MIT woman accomplice to be arrested following the arrests of Nurmi Usman, alias Oma, and Jumiatun Muslim, alias Umi Delima.
Operation Tinombala spokesperson Adj. Sr. Comr. Hari Suprapto said that Tini was transferred to Palu on Monday.
Tini had accompanied her husband Ali, who is believed to have taken over the MIT leadership following the July 2016 death of former leader Santoso, alias Abu Wardah.
Law enforcement authorities have revived Operation Tinombala, which initially ended on Sept. 29, to hunt down the remaining seven MIT members, including Ali, in the next three months.
"We have extended the Tinombala Operation [until December]," Central Sulawesi Police chief Brig. Gen. Rudy Sufahriadi said.
The seven terror suspects, who are on Tinombala's most wanted list, are believed to be hiding out in the jungles of Central Sulawesi.
