Indonesia detain 17 returning from Syria
 

JAKARTA: Indonesian authorities have detained 17 nationals returning from Syria, including children, suspected of being involved in radical activity, officials told Reuters on Sunday.

Immigration ****** spokesman Agung Sampur** said the people, including a two year-old girl and a three year-old boy, were arrested at Soekar**-Hatta airport upon disembarking an Istanbul-Jakarta Turkish Airline flight on Saturday.

They have been handed over to the police’s anti-terrorism unit for questioning, Sampur** said.

"They are currently still under an interrogation process.

If we find any relation to crime on terrorism, we will continue the investigation.

If **t, they will be handed over to their families," the chief of Densus 88, police’s anti-terrorism unit, Eddy Harto** told Reuters.

Police have been monitoring dozens of returning citizens over concerns they could be linking up with networks to equip a new generation of radicals with the skills and equipment required to launch a major attack at home.
