Police surround two Cirebon suicide bombing related accomplices

The National Police’s elite squad mobile brigade and detective counterparts from the Cirebon Police are hunting two men believed to be accomplices of the Cirebon suicide bombing, a local resident unveils.

“The police have been at the village since yesterday evening. I’ve been told they are searching the jungle area, located near the village, for two suspects,” Sri Mulyati, resident of Sidawangi village, Cirebon, said Saturday evening as quoted by tribunnews.com.

Police officials there refused to comment on the men's identities.

A bomb worn by Muhammad Syarif exploded at the Cirebon Police office mosque a few months ago causing his death and injuring dozens of others.

The police revealed that Syarif a member of Jamaah Ansharut Tauhid, which is led by firebrand cleric Abu Bakar Ba’asyir, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison after he was found guilty of assisting and financing the Aceh terrorist camp in Jalin Mountains in early 2010.
