THERE is a Sabah link to the deadly suicide bombings at Jolo cathedral in 2019 and the church in Makassar in 2021.
“The three nations – Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines – exchange intelligence and we coordinate with them. We have arrested foreign terrorists in the state based on intel exchange,” says Hazani, who was promoted to Internal Security and Public Order Department director on Thursday. Stanislaus says the leader of JAD in Makassar was Mohammad Rizaldy S., the 46-year-old brother of Ulfah.
“It was revenge for the killing of Mohammad Rizaldy and Sanjai. Muhammad Lukman and Yogi were angry that the JAD did not do any bombing in the few past years, and yet Indonesian police had killed two JAD members,” says a regional intelligence source whose identity we cannot reveal. The Jolo suicide bombers were influenced to travel from Sulawesi to nearby Sabah by Andi Baso, 21, who later became their son-in-law.
“Andi is not the main person. There is a cut out, someone who tells him: you meet so and so, and he goes to the meet. He gets instructions directly from Indonesia,” he says. “The driving factor was not someone’s instructions but the tight situation the couple was in, so they finally chose to take action as a form of jihad,” says Stanislaus.
“Then Andi and the Jolo bombers were connected as they are part of the JAD cell in Makassar,” he says. In December 2018 in Bingkor, Ulfah, her children Rezky and Ahmad, and son-in-law Andi, together with two other JAD fighters, pledged allegiance to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Rullie had previously pledged loyalty to al- Baghdadi.
