"Densus-88 police have informed me about the arrest of the two terror suspects. The two are suspected to have been involved in the Kepunton bombing and the North Sumatra terrorist network," he said.

The two suspects, both 17 years old, are Rizki Dian Furqon (a resident of RT6/RW5 neighbourhood, Jalan Comal 6, Semanggi village, Pasar Kliwon sub-district) and Teguh alias Parkit (from Ngaglik hamlet, Selokaton village, Gondangrejo, Kranganyar).
