Jakarta –
The 88th Police Department’s counterterrorism team detained several suspected terrorists in various areas of DKI Jakarta and its surroundings. Polda Metro Head of Public Relations Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus said explosives were also found during the search of the suspects’ residence and were thought to be capable of producing around 100 bombs.
“If you want to add all that, almost 100 more bombs will be prepared,” Yusri said at a press conference at the Police Headquarters on Tuesday (3/30/2021).
Yusri said that the explosives to make the bombs were found at the residence of suspect ZA in Bekasi and HH in Condet, east Jakarta. There are many chemicals to be found. If the chemical mixes, it can become TATP (triacetone trypoxide) that is capable of producing a large explosion.
“We found the raw material to do TATP again at Brother ZA’s residence. We also found some other pieces of evidence. Then a difference of only about an hour developed. We managed to arrest one of the suspects with the initials HH in the area of Condet, ”he explained.
At ZA’s residence, the police found 5 active bottle bombs containing TATP. Meanwhile, 7 active bottle bombs that were ready to detonate were also found at HH’s residence.
Yusri said that the TATP found at the residence of the two suspected terrorists was very dangerous so Jibom Gegana Polda Metro Jaya’s team had to carry out its removal. According to him, friction and a little heat can explode TATP, which is a white powder.
“Found in his house (HH) 2 more kg of TATP. The TATP is highly explosive, huh. The one that was detonated yesterday. Why was it thrown away? Because Jibom Gegana’s team did not dare to take it to their mako. Because It just got hot it exploded. Only friction can explode. Because TATP was a mixture of liquid chemicals, “Yusri said.
“The (TATP) form is a white powder. That is the main ingredient to exploit. Then we just have to put it in the pipe. At HH, brother is a pipe ”, he concluded.
Previously, the Densus 88 counterterrorism team arrested four suspected terrorists from four different locations, from Jakarta to Bekasi Regency. The other perpetrators of these four arrests are now under the orders of development officials.
“Friends of Densus 88 are still working to carry out investigations and investigations into the suspects we captured. We can further develop the prosecution of other perpetrators,” said Polda Metro Jaya Kombes head of public relations Yusri Yunus at the headquarters of Metro Jaya police. ., Jakarta, Tuesday (3/30).
