Aceh terrorists involved in hotel bombings, says National Police

National Police chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri on Tuesday said all Aceh-based fugitives were on the police’s wanted list, for their possible involvement in several bombings in Jakarta and Bali.

All terrorist suspects, including those who had been detained or shot dead, had been convincingly related to the bombings of the JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels in Jakarta some time ago, Bambang said as quoted by Antara state news agency.

“Some of [the terrorist suspects] were also involved in the Indonesia Stock Exchange [BEI] and Bali bombings,” Bambang said during his visit to Aceh Besar.

Two weeks ago, police launched a crackdown on terrorist suspects following the uncovering of a training center for a suspected terrorist group in Aceh Besar regency.

The police claimed a victory against the group and worked to restore order in the village on Friday last week.
