JAKARTA, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Three people believed to be involved in suicide attacks on a mosque in West Java and a Java church were arrested Saturday, Indonesian police said.
Gen. Anton Bahrul Alam said the first arrest was made at about 1 a.m., the Jakarta Globe reported. Heru Komarudin had been sought in connection with the April bombing of the mosque.
The West Java attack occurred in a mosque inside a police station in Cirebon during Friday prayers. The bomber, identified as Muhammad Syarif, was killed and about 30 people injured.
In the September bombing, a man identified as Ahmad Yosepa Hayat set off explosives strapped to his torso as worshipers left a Christian church. He died and about 20 members of the congregation were hurt.
After Komarudin's arrest, police arrested two men at the same address in a Jakarta suburb. Their wives were also detained.
Investigators said suspicious materials were seized from the house the couples shared, The New York Times reported.
