Propaganda
Aidi explained, the location of the massacre on the summit hill of Kabo was a
forest area located about 4-5 km from the edge of nearest village. Therefore,
if there were reports of falling victims due to the shooting contact, the
victims could be analyzed not as pure civilians, but they might be part of the
perpetrators who carried out the massacre.

All statements about the fall of civilian casualties, bomb attacks and
the term combat zone, he stressed, were only propaganda efforts of KKB to lead
public opinion to corner the TNI-Polri.

“It is as if the TNI-Polri have committed acts of human rights violations,
while those who have raided dozens of innocent civilians as if it were not a
mistake and want to seek justification,” Aidi concluded.**
