JAKARTA, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- Indonesian police's anti-terror squad Special Detachment 88 (Densus 88) has foiled attack plans targeting vital targets in the capital city, including the presidential palace.
The anti-terror squad confiscated a bomb that would be used in the attack, and is now pursuing two suspects after arresting four, including a female terrorist suspect.
The bomb was found in a dormitory house rented by the female suspect, which is located in Bekasi, an outskirt city of Jakarta, on Saturday. Two of her accomplices were arrested in East Jakarta later in the day.
Another suspect, identified as the bomb assembler, was arrested in Karanganyar, close to the city of Solo in Central Java on the same day.
"Two other suspects remain at large. There could be more suspects, depending on results of the developing investigation," a police spokesperson, Awi Setiyono, said on Sunday, adding that the pursuit is now under way in several cities in Central and East Java provinces.
Police said the bomb assembled by the terrorist cell members is so powerful that it can flatten houses in a radius of 300 meters.
