Indonesia Police have named two suspects for allegedly having prior knowledge of the suicide bombing that injured 30 people in a mosque at Cirebon Police headquarters on April 15.
National Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Boy Rafli Amar, speaking during a news conference in Jakarta on Tuesday, identified the pair as Ahmad Basuki, the younger brother of deceased suicide bomber Muhammad Syarif, and Arif Budiman.
Basuki and Arif, Boy said, are “believed to have known about the bombing plan and supported it.”
Boy said Basuki was detained after police found four additional explosive devices, 40 books about jihad and military training information at his father-in-law’s house in Cirebon district last week.
Boy said Arif was believed to have accompanied Syarif to Cirebon Police headquarters the day of the attack.
The spokesman also revealed that at least one of those arrested along with Good Friday bomb plot mastermind Pepi Fernando was also preparing to launch a suicide attack.
