Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Indonesian police are coordinating with French intelligence with regards to investigating traces of the terror network that conducted the recent deadly attacks in Paris.
"I have to check with intelligence networks in Indonesia, as well as in Paris. Coordination can be done directly or through our representative office there," National Police Chief, General Badrodin Haiti, said after attending a coordination meeting at the office of the Coordinating Minister for Political, Security and Legal Affairs on Thursday.
He said he would continue investigating the possible involvement of French citizens that had once entered Indonesia, but would not rush to conclude that they were involved with ISIS armed groups.
"We certainly must investigate it because some of the French citizens have been to Indonesia or to Bandung or Batam before. I could not conclude if they were involved in the network or not," he said.
To anticipate the spread of radicalism from the ISIS armed groups, the police chief said he would implement a two-way security system.
He added that the police would monitor Indonesian citizens, who are held in other countries, due to travel administrative problems or any other action.
He also revealed that the police will also take preventive action against foreign citizens, who enter the country.
Badrodin said checks at border points, airports, seaports and access points to the country will be tightened.
"Some will leave and some others will enter. We will certainly check those who enter and if laws are broken, we will process them," he added.(WDY)
