Indonesian security minister's attackers belong to Islamic State-linked terror network: Official

JAKARTA: A man wielding a knife attacked Indonesia's chief security minister Wiranto on Thursday during his visit to a town on the island of Java, injuring the minister and three others.

Television footage showed the minister slumped to the ground beside his car after the attack in Pandeglang, in Banten province. Security officers were seen wrestling a man and a woman to the ground."Someone approached and attacked him," said national police spokesman Dedi Prasetyo, adding that the couple have been arrested.

The two suspects belong to the Islamic State-linked terror network Jamaah Ansharut Daulah , said State Intelligence Agency chief Budi Gunawan.Soldiers carry Indonesian Chief Security Minister Wiranto on a stretcher to a waiting helicopter on Oct 10, 2019. Wiranto, a former military general, suffered"two deep wounds" in his stomach but was conscious and in stable condition, according to Berkah Hospital spokesman Firmansyah.

Wiranto, 72, had been in the area to open a new building at a university and people were lining up to shake his hand and take selfies with him before the attack around noon, said Banten police chief Tomsi Tohir."But a man got into the circle and stabbed Wiranto. The woman also tried to stab him. He was arrested and the woman fought the police," he added.
