Indonesia’s National Police spokesman says the terror suspects targeted in two raids near Jakarta on Tuesday were aiding an alleged terror camp in Aceh.

“They were the weapons and fund suppliers,” said Insp. Gen. Edward Aritonang at an afternoon press conference, adding police had launched the raids based on information obtained from suspects who had been detained in ongoing police sweeps in Aceh.

The police actions were carried out at 11:30 am and 12:20 pm in neighborhoods less than a kilometer apart in the Pamulang district of Tangerang. Edward referred to the suspects only by their initials since their identities had not yet been confirmed.

“In the first raid at Jalan Siliwangi, Pamulang, police killed a suspect whose initials were YI because he tried to shot the officer with a revolver,” said Edward. A loaded revolver and spare bullets were confiscated, he added.

A woman and three children who were in the house at the time of the raid “are unharmed and still recovering from shock,” Edward said.

In the second raid at nearby Jalan Setiabudi 15, West Pamulang police shot dead two suspects, a man and a woman.

“The suspects were killed because they tried to shoot the policemen. Their initials were R and H,” said Edward.

He added that two more suspects were arrested on the street. Their initials are BR, alias H, and SB, alias I. They are under police interrogation.
