ational Police antiterror squad Densus 88 arrested two suspected terrorists in Tirto Kencono, Tanggulangin Punggur district, Central Lampung, on Monday.
"We can confirm that a National Police team has arrested suspected terrorists. We helped cordon off the location of the arrest,” Central Lampung Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Dono Sembodo said as quoted by Antara news agency on Tuesday.
Dono, however, claimed not to know where the squad would take the suspected terrorists for questioning.
An eyewitness, Joni, who works at a nearby welding workshop, said he had seen police officers alight from several vans before entering a rented house to arrest two men, identified by locals as Dwiatmoko and Abu.
According to Joni, both Dwiatmoko and Abu rarely spoke to local people and never exhibited any suspicious activity. “However, lately they have been seen going out in long robes,” he said. (dmr)
