President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has ordered security forces to
intensify and heighten security measures in Papua following the attack
on a commercial aircraft by an armed gang at an airport in the
country’s easternmost province.
“The Coordinating Political,
Legal, and Security Affairs Minister [Djoko Suyanto] has reported the
incident to the President who was shocked by the report. The attack
proved the situation in the region was still unsafe and thus requires a
special approach by security authorities,” Presidential spokesman
Julian Aldrin Pasha told reporters at the Presidential Office on
Monday.
A Twin Otter plane operated by privately run Trigana
Air was attacked on Sunday morning shortly after it touched down at
Mulia Airport in the Puncak Jaya regency, killing a journalist and
injuring several other people onboard including the pilot and first
officer.
The pilot lost control and the plane hit a warehouse.
“We
are dealing with armed groups so the security measures must be
‘special’,” Julian said. “Attacks on commercial aircraft are a serious
threat,” he added.
