Police tighten security at Satya Wacana University
Salatiga (ANTARA News) - Police in Salatiga, Central Java, will tighten security at the
local Satya Wacana Christian University (UKSW) following the discovery of a
document belonging to the Abu Dujana terror group on a plan to assassinate the
university`s former rector, John Titaley, a spokesman said.
Salatiga Police Chief Adjunct Senior Commissioner Rahardjo said here on
Wednesday he had already coordinated with the present university rector, Kris
Herawan Timotius, and had also asked the rector to maximize the university`s internal
security.
"All vehicles coming to and leaving the campus must be checked with a detector and
surveillance cameras must soon be installed in places where they are needed," he
said.
He said he would assign men to patrol the campus and guarantee the safety of John
Titaley and Kris Herawan Timotius.
"If the former rector, now still in the US, asks for special police protection, we will be
ready to provide it," he said.
He said in anticipation of any eventuality he had already asked his men to recheck
boarding houses and newcomers in the city and conduct traffic operations to check
motorists` documents.
He appealed to residents of Salatiga not to panic over the information. "We have taken
all the necessary security precautions. We hope people will continue to conduct their
daily activities as usual," he said. (*)
