Suspect sketches 'near completion'

PALU, Central Sulawesi: Police here said on Friday they would soon post up hundreds of sketches of six suspects in the area who are wanted for the latest attacks on two churches in Palu.

Central Sulawesi Police chief Brig. Gen. Aryanto Sutadi said his office had already completed sketches of four suspects in the Anugerah and Immanuel church attacks, which injured five people.

"We will soon disseminate the sketches to the public, so they can help us capture the suspects by providing information on their whereabouts," he added.

Aryanto said the perpetrators were believed to be new recruits employed by the same group of terrorists who launched previous attacks in the Poso and Palu regions. --JP
