Indonesia police arrest three over suspected suicide bomb plot

None

JAKARTA- Indonesian police said on Tuesday that three people had been arrested over a suspected plot to carry out a suicide bomb attack in an undisclosed location outside the most populous island of Java.

 

Two men were arrested in the Central Java city of Solo on Sunday on suspicion they made explosives to be carried by a female accomplice, said Martinus Sitompul, a spokesman for the national police.

 

A suspected female suicide bomber had been arrested in Purworejo, also in Central Java, last Thursday, he said.

 

"The group was planning to carry out an attack outside Java," Sitompul said. He declined to elaborate and said police would hold a news briefing later this week.
