A military operation to fight against terrorists in Indonesia's Aceh province and Java Island for two weeks captured 22 terrorists alive and killed five others, Antara news agency quoted an official as saying on Wednesday.

"We arrested 15 terrorists in Aceh and killed two. In Java Island, seven were arrested and three were killed," said Ansyaad Mbai, head of Anti-Terror Desk at the Coordinating Ministry of Politic, Law and Security Affairs in Banda Aceh, the provincial capital of Aceh.

He said that security apparatus will keep chasing suspected terrorists who are hiding in Aceh or other parts of the country.

"Aceh is now struggling to rebuild. The peaceful situation is interrupted by a group of people who use the province as terrorist training camp," he said.

He praised the people and the government of Aceh who stand side by side in combating terrorists.
