None of the policemen were injured in the ambush Saturday morning or in the subsequent gunfight, he said. The six were "clearly linked to the terrorist group Jamaah Ansharut Daulah," he said. Indonesia, home to the world's largest Muslim population, has been battling a growing terrorist threat and presence of Islamic State sympathisers. Bombing attacks in recent years included one on the resort island of Bali in 2002 that killed 202 people.
