 "Indonesian police say arrested militants belong to China's Uighur community")
Jakarta: Indonesian police say four suspected Islamic militants arrested over the weekend are members of China’s ethnic Uighur minority community.
Authorities initially said the four were Turkish, which has linguistic and ethnic ties with the Uighur (pronounced WEE’-gur) homeland of Xinjiang, a region in northwestern China.
The men were arrested on Saturday while traveling in a car in Indonesia’s Central Sulawesi province, which is home to a network of Indonesian extremists.
National Police spokesman Col Agus Rianto said on Monday that police were investigating them on suspicion of seeking contact with a wanted militant and having possible links to the Islamic State group in Syria.
Xinjiang is home to a separatist insurgency that is infused with Islamist militancy, and Uighurs are known to have traveled to global jihadi hotspots, including the Pakistani border.
