Two militants linked to Philippines church bombing shot dead

Two Indonesian militants linked to a 2019 church blast in the Philippines have been shot dead by police, authorities said on January 6, as officers arrested scores of pro-Islamic State (IS) radicals.
The shootings came as Indonesia’s counter-terrorism squad, Densus 88, raided a hideout of extremist group Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD) in Sulawesi island’s Makassar city, they said.

Another 17 militants were detained.
