Terrorist suspects target independence day ceremony: Police Bagus BT Saragih, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Fri, 05/14/2010 4:26 PM | National The police reveal that terrorist suspects have planned to attack President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and other high-ranking officials during the independence day ceremony on Aug. 17 at the State Palace. "Testimonies from the suspects and seized evidence disclosed that they had chosen that option to assassinate the President," National Police chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri told a press conference on Friday. He said terrorists had also planned to declare that Indonesia was no longer a democratic state and became a Sharia nation immediately after President was killed. Bambang also said that the option had been chosen since the suspects learned that the security guards at State Palace during the ceremony would have no bullets in their guns. During a series of raids by the police's Detachment 88 anti-terror squad since January this year, 13 terrorist suspects have been killed and 52 other arrested. The latest raid was at a battery shop in Sukoharjo, Central Java, where the squad nabbed three suspects. Related News >> a.. FIT AND PROPER b.. Three terrorist suspects sent to Jakarta from Solo c..
