Uighurs trained in Sulawesi before joining ISIS


KUALA LUMPUR (The Star/Asia News Network): The Mujahideen Indonesia Timur (MIT) (pic), which operates in the mountainous jungle of Poso, Sulawesi, used to have Uighurs from China working side by side with them in their terrorism. According to intelligence reports, most of them used forged Turkish passports to enter Indonesia from Thailand to launch their attacks on Syiah, Christians, and the Indonesian government.

Uighurs are members of a Muslim minority community who mostly live in western Xinjiang in China, as well as across Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Turkey.
