wenty terrorist suspects confronted by the National Police's Densus 88 counterterrorism unit in separate raids had been involved in armed robberies at Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) offices in three cities, a police officer says.
'They stole Rp 790 million (US$81,192) from BRI in Batang, Central Java; Rp 630 million from BRI Grobogan; and Rp 460 million in BRI Lampung. They also attempted to burn down Glodok Market in Jakarta,' said National Police spokesperson Brig. Gen. Boy Rafli Amar in Jakarta on Thursday as quoted by Antara news agency.
He said the suspects carried out various initiatives to collect money, including through robbery.
