Islamic militants confess to beheading 3 girls
Police in Indonesia announced last week that suspected Islamic terrorists have confessed to beheading three Indonesian Christian schoolgirls in Poso, on the island of Sulawesi, in October 2005, according to Compass Direct.
An Associated Press (AP) report initially said two of the seven suspects were associates of Noordin Top, a key leader of the homegrown terrorist group, Jemaah Islamiyah (JI). Alam, however, has since insisted that, “it’s certain they weren’t involved with Noordin.”
AP reported on that all seven men had confessed to playing a role in the beheadings of the three Christian teenagers on October 29, 2005.
The men attacked four girls – Theresia Morangke, 15; Alfita Poliwo, 17; Yarni Sambue, 15; and Noviana Malewa, 15 – early in the morning as they walked to a Christian school in Poso district. The first three girls were beheaded; Malewa received serious injuries to her face and neck but survived the attack.
