REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- National Police deputy chief Comr. Gen. Syafruddin urged academic community in campus to be wary on the terrorist network movement. His statement came following an arrest on three suspected terrorists at Riau University's Social and Political Sciences Department in Pekanbaru.

"We urge to all campus to be wary of terrorist movements, even though the incident was done by one person only, but it can make the name of campus becomes worse," said Syafruddin on Monday (June 4).

The arrest of suspected terrorists at Riau University is the development of terror attack case at Riau Police Headquarters.
