Reconstruction of JSX bomb blast
Reconstruction of JSX bomb blast
JAKARTA (JP): The reconstruction of the Sept. 13 bomb blast at
the Jakarta Stock Exchange (JSX) building in South Jakarta was
scheduled to be carried out on Saturday, Jakarta Police
detectives chief Sr. Supt. Harry Montolalu said.
"The reconstruction will take place at the auto repair shop
and the JSX building," Harry said, while referring to the Krung
Baro Motor auto repair shop in Ciganjur, South Jakarta, which was
allegedly the site for assembling the bomb.
The police officer was speaking to reporters on the sidelines
of a meeting between Jakarta Police chief Insp. Gen. Mulyono
Sulaiman and executives of the Jakarta office of the Indonesian
Journalists Association (PWI).
Harry, however, did not elaborate on the time for the
reconstruction.
He said it would involve four main suspects in the Sept. 13
bombing, which killed at least 11 people, injured dozens others
and damaged some 200 vehicles.
Police had earlier named four men, identified as Tengku
Ismuhadi, Ibrahim A. Manaf, Ibrahim Hasan and Irwan, as the main
suspects of the bombing.
The first two, who are civilians, had acted as the planners
and controllers of the bombing, while the other two, who are
military personnel, were operators who assembled and planted the
bomb at the JSX building, police said.
Harry said the police had asked for expert assistance from
publicly listed state-owned telecommunication company PT. Telkom
to prove that several minutes before the blast, the four suspects
were communicating to each other via cellular phone near the JSX
building.
Harry also said that the suspects had admitted that they were
at the scene shortly after the bomb exploded to see if their plan
had been executed as planned.
"They were there among other spectators who came to the JSX
building (to see what happened)," Harry said.
Police have earlier said that the suspects of the JSX bombing
were members of a group that had a wide network and which had
carried out several bombings in many areas in the country. (jaw)
