Indonesia detains 5 on arrival in Bali for suspected ISIS link
Police on the Indonesian resort island of Bali have detained five Indonesians returning from Turkey on suspicion they traveled abroad to join the Islamic State group.
Bali police spokesman Hengky Widjaja said Thursday that the three men and two women were detained after they arrived in Bali from Istanbul on Tuesday evening.

He said the group was nabbed January 16 by the Turkish army. It was the second batch of Indonesians detained this month after returning from Turkey. Last week, authorities detained 17 including eight women on arrival at Jakarta’s Sukarno-Hatta International Airport.
