| Three Terorist Suspect Arrested at Lamongan East Java, Affliated with JAD |
“They had planned to attack the Brondong police sub-precinct office in Lamongan,” the police’s spokesperson, Sr. Comr. Martinus Sitompul, told journalists in Jakarta.
The police identified the trio as Zaenal Anshori, 42, Zaenal Hasan, 36, and Adi Bramadinata, 20, all of whom allegedly belong to a cell lead by Suryadi Mas'ud alias Abu Ridho, who was arrested in Bekasi, West Java, on March 23.
Martinus said terror convict Aman Abdurrahman, the former leader of JAD, an Islamic State-affiliated network, had chosen Zaenal Anshori as the group’s leader. Aman is now serving time in Nusakambangan Prison.
Anshori, who underwent military training in southern Philippines, once purchased five guns there, two of which were used in the terror attack on Jl. Thamrin in Central Jakarta in January 2016, Martinus said.
Anshori was also identified as one of the JAD members who helped initiate the construction of a military-style training ground in Halmahera, North Maluku, he went on.
Martinus said the police however, had to further investigate the specific roles of the three terror suspects in the organization. (source: the jakarta post)
