JAKARTA: A suspected militant launched an attack on an Indonesian police station in the country’s second-biggest city, slashing one officer with a sickle, before being shot and taken into custody, pol

ice officials said.

The 30-year-old suspect entered the police station in Surabaya in East Java on Saturday afternoon – Indonesia’s Independence Day -–and attacked the officer on duty, according to a police intelligence report confirmed by East Java police spokesman Frans Barung Mangera yesterday.

Abdurahman is considered the ideological leader of Jemaah Ansharut Daulah , a loose grouping of Islamic State sympathisers in Indonesia.It was unclear the extent of injuries sustained by the attacker, who was being interrogated. Indonesia, which is the world’s biggest Muslim-majority country, is grappling with a resurgence in militancy.

The government scrambled to tighten its anti-terrorism laws after a series of suicide bombings linked to JAD cells killed more than 30 people in Surabaya last year.Police last month said authorities had arrested a suspected militant plotting Independence Day bomb attacks and they believe he was part of a network behind violence in the Philippines that also has ties to the Islamic State in Afghanistan.
