The suspects are members of Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD) and Jamaah Islamiyah, Indonesian Police spokesman Brig. Gen. Awi Setiyono stated here on Tuesday.
Setiyono noted that seven suspects were detained in South Kalimantan.
"The first suspect NZN, alias Zay, alias Armagedon, was arrested on June 1 at 1 p.m. WITA (Central Indonesian Time)," he remarked.
NZN was supposedly the secretary of JAD. The other suspects arrested in the province were identified by their initials as MRR, AS, MN, TA, and S. Another suspect has died.
In Bali, the police's Special Detachment 88 (Densus 88) arrested two terror suspects: MRAH and MHAH.
MRAH was arrested for his alleged involvement in a survey conducted by Jamaah Islamiyah in Lebak, Banten Province, to seek its target of Chinese descent.
MHAH was allegedly involved in the plan to seize the police's arms.
On June 8, Densus 88 arrested three suspects -- ER, WA, and HA -- who were members of Jamaah Islamiyah in Bima, West Nusa Tenggara. Related news: Government considers impact of Indonesian FTF repatriation
