TNI to deploy 600 agents in Surabaya

SURABAYA, East Java: Brawijaya Military Command chief Maj.
Gen. Sikki said on Tuesday he would deploy 600 intelligence
operatives to areas in the city that are possible terrorist
targets.

He said the decision was in response to a warning from the
British government.

"We don't want to be fooled. We should anticipate terrorist
attacks by deploying (men) in sensitive areas," Sikki said.

These sensitive areas include strategic installations such as
the coal-fired Paiton power plant, oil company Pertamina, power
producer PLN, Juanda airport, telecommunications firm PT Telkom
and large shopping malls.

Sikki added that the province's security situation was still
safe for tourism, business and investment. --JP
