Densus 88 officers arrived at the house of the 34-year old suspected terrorist, identified by his initials as Si, in Pasir Wetan village, Karanglewas sub-district, Banyumas district, on Thursday evening, an ANTARA journalist observed.
During the raid, the Densus 88 officers found a number of books, flash disk, arch, arrow, rifle, and other items.
They also raided the house of the suspected terrorist`s employee, identified by his initials as Sl, which is located next to Si`s house.
Shortly after raiding the houses, they left the two buildings, taking with them a number of items as evidence.
Chief of the Banyumas district police Adjunct Senior Commissioner, Bambang Yudhantara Salamun, when asked about the raid, stated that his side only accompanied the Densus 88 during the search.
