Police Catch Five Terror Suspects Behind 2019 Bombing of A Police Station in North Sumatra

The police’s Detachment 88 counterterrorist unit has nabbed five terror suspects in Aceh province. “We suspect the men were involved in a suicide bombing at the police headquarters in Medan, North Sumatra, in November 2019,” said Aceh Police spokesman Police Chief Commissioner Winardy.

“The suspects were making a bomb that they plan to set off at police precincts in Medan. We are also trying to determine their role in the bombing. ”

Winardy added that the police also confiscated explosive materials during the operation. “Investigators found bombmaking materials such as explosives, nitrate kalum fertizer, charcoal powder, and steel pipes.”

The Densus 88 also found a threatening note towards the military, police and civil authorities. A number of the terrorists were involved in a bombmaking plot that was eventually uncovered and nabbed in Riau in late 2020.
