Indonesian police said a suspected militant was arrested earlier this week, who was planning attacks on government headquarters and embassies in the Capital Jakarta and making very powerful explosives.
National Police spokesman Rikwanto said Saturday that Rio Priatna Wibawa, 23, was linked to Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian militant fighting with Daesh group, who is believed to have inspired attacks at home, The Washington Post reported.
Rikwanto, who goes by one name, said bomb-making explosives were recovered from a laboratory in Wibawa’s home in Majalengka town, West Java province.
With his ability, Wibawa was making bombs three times as powerful as the Bali bombs, Rikwanto said.
