AMBON, MALUKU - Police have arrested six people suspected of involvement in a bomb terror in the wake of May 11 clash between two groups of residents in the Maluku provincial capital of Ambon.
"They were involved in terror acts and bomb attacks in a number of areas in Ambon," Chief of the Maluku Provincial Police Brig Gen Syarief Gunawan said here on Monday. The six are identified by their initials as BM, RM, SS, HTM, AW and HS.
Syarief said police also confiscated two non-active home-made bombs with a diameter of 10 cm each and two motorcycles from the suspects at the rented house of BM. The bombs were made of iron pipe.
"The suspects often used the two motorcycles which have the same police plates, namely DE-6077 AD to commit terror acts," he said. He said five of the six suspects, namely RM, SS, HTM, AW and HS were arrested in Ambon. The other suspect, BM was arrested at Tanjung Priok port in North Jakarta.
BM had earlier escaped to Bula town in Seram Bagian Timur district and later to Fak-Fak town in West Papua province from where he left for Jakarta by MV Labobar on May 13. "The police`s success in arresting the six suspects is inseparable from the public`s participation in providing tips-off to the police," he said.
Based on the results of intensive investigation, BM was the main actor of the bomb terror. Not only was he the maker of the bombs but also the executor of bomb attacks in the field, he said. "The six suspects had no link with any other terrorist cells," he said adding the police were still looking into the motive behind the bomb attacks.
