An Indonesian anti-terror squad raided and arrested three militants. It happened at three separate locations in Indonesia's central Java Province.

The arrests are part of a nationwide hunt for militants.

The militants were arrested without resistance and transferred to Jakarta to determine which terror group they are associated with.

During the raid, police also found rifles, pistols and ammo.

A police spokesman says the militants are linked to Islamist militants in Aceh Province, where police uncovered an Islamist militant training camp in February.

Police are expected to release the names and organizations the militants are linked to during a press conference on Friday.
