Jakarta - National Police Chief Gen. Badrodin Haiti said one of the two pilots who are called to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) are still in Indonesia.


"One of them last night was, until now still exist in Bogor, not in Syria. That's what we know," he said at the National Police Headquarters, Jakarta, Friday (10/7).

However, he did not explain what he meant pilot nor the exact location of its existence. Badrodin said it was still investigating to explore this conjecture.

So far, he said, the two pilots allegedly only sympathize with ISIS and not to join as a member. They called often convey the advocates of terror groups through social media.

"Then from there, the AFP (Australian Federal Police) assesses that the person concerned was ISIS. Now the problem is, whether he's been to Syria? This is what we're investigating," said Badrodin.

This sejuah, according Badrodin, police have not found the second pilot linkages with ISIS network in Indonesia.

Earlier, the Australian Federal Police confidential documents (AFP) were leaked by the online magazine The Intercept and released on its website on Wednesday (8/7) mentions two Indonesian pilot who allegedly joined the ISIS it is Ridwan Agustin of airline AirAsia and Tommy Abu Alfatih aka Tomi Hendratno of airline Premiair.

According to the AFP document, Ridwan be AirAsia pilot since 2010. He flew on international routes such as Hong Kong and Singapore. Prior to his Facebook account closed, Ridwan posted some photographs that are using the pilot uniform in front of AirAsia.

Ridwan is alleged to have made another Facebook account with a different name. AirAsia stewardess married man it is currently called living in Raqqa, Syria.

While Tommy Abu Alfatih aka Tomi Hendratno previously worked in Premiair. He even called once the Air Force pilot.

Premiair told The Intercept that Tomi has stopped working for the company since June 1. This is consistent with the information on his Facebook account, under him on June 1 to leave his job as a pilot in Premiair and now works as a 'driver' in 'Earth Allah glory to Him.

Meanwhile, Navy (AL) actually calls Tomi never joined his unit. Head of Department of Information AL Navy Colonel (P) M Zainudin said Tomi recorded has been out of the Navy unit since November 10, 2010 ago. The man who once lived in Sidoarjo was a Navy Officer Candidate Education graduates XXXI of 2002.

"The bottom line is he (Tomi) former personnel of the Navy. But, since he is retired it is not the responsibility of the Navy again," said Zainudin.

In the middle of the maze of this information, clarification from someone claiming to Abu Alfatih received by AFP news agency. Someone named Abu Alfatih Hendratno it calls itself still as a citizen but did not mention where he currently resides. Related statement was delivered in five points:

1. I have no link with the ISIS group as they had expected, and even then you are fit before any clarification
2. I am a citizen who tried to comply with the rules and obligations of my muamalah as possible in life in this country
3. Does giving only like the person's status makes us similar to them?
4. There is no allegiance between me and ISIS to date
5. Not because the impact of that news alone but did not pass on the relevant clarifications are things that I think needs to be clarified.

Similarly clarification I hope we can all learn to be more professional and more thorough in this life.
