MEMBERS of Indonesia’s elite counter-terrorism police squad shot and killed a doctor resisting arrest who was allegedly connected to the banned Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) militant group, which has been blamed for a string of past bombings, police said.
The man, who was identified by his single name, Sunardi, 53, tried to ram the officers who blocked his pickup truck on Wednesday on a street in Central Java’s Sukoharjo district, leading two of the officers to jump into the truck’s cargo bed, said National Police spokesperson Ahmad Ramadhan.
