National Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Boy Rafli Amar said on Tuesday that the bomb used by a suicide bomber in Cirebon, West Java, was assembled by a terrorist suspect known as Musholla.
“Musholla was the one who assembled [the bomb], together with a number of persons who are on the police's wanted list,” Boy said as quoted by kompas.com.
He refused to reveal the identities of the other bomb makers.
A man identified in April as M. Syarif detonated a low-explosive bomb strapped to his body during Friday prayers at the Az-Dzikra mosque within the Cirebon City Police compound.
At least 25 people, mostly police officers, were wounded.
Boy said he has yet to learn where Musholla and his accomplices had gained their bomb assembly skills. An investigator with the police's Densus 88 Anti-terror squad, however, has alleged that the suspects learned from Sogir, a terrorist suspect who was convicted for his involvement in making the bomb that exploded outside the Australian embassy in Jakarta in 2004.
“They knew Sogir. But these are still our predictions. All we are [certain of] by now is that they have the skills to assemble bombs,” Boy said.
