JAKARTA – Indonesia’s anti-terror police said on Tuesday they have arrested suspected terrorists over a plot to attack police facilities to disrupt the presidential and legislative elections on Feb 14, 2024.
The suspects were rounded up between Oct 2 and last Saturday. A number of firearms including an AK-47 assault rifle were seized, along with bomb-making chemicals such as sulphur and Himalayan salt, which is a replacement for hydrochloric acid used in explosives. Police also confiscated some propaganda materials.
He said a group of recidivists among the suspects were the ones planning to attack the 2024 Presidential Election. “Eight of them were ex-convicts who had also planned to attack the police. When they came out of prison, they had not yet repented and were happy to join Abu Umar who motivated them to continue their struggle and resistance against the security forces and non-Muslims,” said Mr Taufiqurrohman.
Terror analyst Noor Huda Ismail said the conflict in Palestine could drive radical recruitment by terror groups in Indonesia.
