The case is being investigated under Sections 15 and 13 of Law No. 15/2003 on counter-terrorism.
Meanwhile, three other suspected terrorists, namely R alias B, AS and BF alias I, are still being questioned by the police.
R was arrested in the Cibubur area of West Java, while AS and BF were detained at two different locations in Cipayung, East Jakarta on Tuesday.
R alias B, AS and BF alias I allegedly met with Ahmad Sukri a day before the suicide bombing.
On Wednesday night, two explosions were reported at the Kampung Melayu bus terminal in East Jakarta. The first explosion occurred at 21.00 pm local time in front of a public toilet, while the second bomb exploded at 21.05 pm local time, some 10 meters from the first explosion.
According to the police, the suicide bombers from the Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD) Bandung Raya group, who blew up themselves, had made the explosive using a chemical compound called Triacetone Triperoxide.
