Indonesian Police’s spokesman, Senior Commissioner Pol. Ahmad Ramadhan, confirmed that the three terror suspects were placed on the wanted list by Densus 88.
"The three are on the list of wanted persons of the police’s anti-terror squad Densus 88," Ramadhan noted here on Wednesday.
The three suspects, all from South Jakarta, are identified by their initials as ARH (48) from Pesanggrahan, NF (35) from Jagakarsa, and YI alias Jr (53) from Pasar Minggu
The pursuit of the three terror suspects was linked to the arrests of four suspects -- BS, AJ, ZA, and WJ -- in Jakarta, Bekasi, and Tangerang in late March.
The four suspects claimed to be supporters of a banned organization. They had created a video on the terror plan to blow up a gas station.
The police had yet to confirm the suspects' link to the militant group of JAD and Jamaah Islamiyah.
However, the police found attributes of an organization banned by the government during the arrest of a suspect in Condet, East Jakarta, on March 29.
