Detachment 88 (Detasemen Khusus 88)
The decision to change the location came on last minutes. Initial target location was a cafe in Sumatra Island but since too many Indonesian life could have been lost if they continue the plan at the identified location, they decided to changed it to Jakarta hot spot location for foreign tourist. I believed this is the largest achievement for Indonesia counter-terrorism speacial squad, Detachment 88 after the last bombings occurred on the resort of Bali in late 2005, killing 20 people. The arrest began on Saturday in the Sumatran village of Sekayu when a Singaporean identified as Abu Hazam was detained as a terror suspect. Source said, Abu Hazam have meet Osama bin Laden few times and received military training in Afghanistan. Following the interrogations, Abu Hazam reveal about the two other suspects, who were arrested on Monday. The remaining six was detained on wednesday based from the tips from others detainee’s. Together with them, a large cache of high-powered bombs captured. Those who are detained identified as AT alias M alias K alias I (35 years old), SG alias Salias R (22 years old), AM alias Z (26 years old), W alias Y alias R (35 years old), AG alias G (36 years old), HP alias H (25 years old) AS alias AH alias UG (42 years old), SA alias AB dan AMT alias AT.
