TERRORISTS HAVE CHANGED TARGET OF ATTACKS : POLICE
Jakarta, Oct 24 (ANTARA) - The target of terrorist attacks now has shifted from United States interests to any party not sharing their views, , National Police Chief Gen Bambang Hendarso Danuri said here on Friday.
Danuri made the statement after transferring his position as the head of National Police's Criminal Investigation Department to Commissioner General Susno Duaji at the National Police Headquarters in South Jakarta.
"The terrorists' way of thinking in choosing their targets is marked by a dynamism of its own. This became evident in the arrest of members of the 'Palembang group' some time ago and the recent capture of members of the 'North Jakarta group' in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta. They no longer attack US interests but other, more specific, objects," Danuri said.
Earlier, on Tuesday (Oct 21) , police arrested five suspected terrorists during a raid in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, but two others remained at large.
From a document seized from the arrested terror suspects, police concluded they had planned an attack state oil company PT Pertamina's fuel oil depot in Plumpang, North Jakarta.
The Plumpang fuel oil depot is the largest in Indonesia.
In the crackdown in Kelapa Gading, police also seized a 9-mm caliber revolver, a magazine, 27 rounds of 9-mm ammunition, a firearm, 257.5 grams of TMP, and a bomb assembling manual.
The National Police chief said the so-called North Jakarta group had chosen the Pertamina fuel oil depot at'Plumpang because they considered rhe facility as something belonging to their enemy.
Danuri said according to the terror suspects, whoever, including Indonesian nationals, held opinions different from theirs were their enemy.
He said the government, as well as the police, were now the targets of terrorist attacks.
Meanwhile, National Police Headquarters spokesman Brig Gen Sulistyo Ishak said on Wednesday that the five suspects arrested in North Jakarta on Tuesday did have a plan to blow up the Plumpang fuel oil depot.
"One of their objectives was to blow up the Plumpang fuel oil depot," Brig Gen Sulistyo Ishak said here Wednesday.
He said following the arrest of the five suspected terrorists, their plan to attack the Plumpang depot was foiled.
"We are grateful because their arrest has foiled their plan to carry out terrorist acts in the country," Sulistyo said, adding the five men were identified as Rusli Mardani alias Wahyu Ramadhan alias Uci alias Farid alias Zulfikar, Nurhasani alias Hassan, Iman Basori alisas Basar, Muntasir, and Budiman.
