JAKARTA, Indonesia – Six suspected terrorists killed by Detachment 88 in a shootout during a New Year's Eve raid near Jakarta were planning attacks on a church, Buddhist temples and the American embassy, police said Friday (January 3rd) according to AFP.
Police found a handwritten document revealing the group's targets, National Police spokesman Boy Rafli Amar said.
"Take your pistols, holy warriors, and prepare to attack the US Embassy," Boy said, reading from the document during a press conference. He said suicide attacks were also planned.
The six suspects also planned to attack a church and Buddhist temples to avenge anti-Muslim violence in Burma, National Police Chief Sutarman said.
The six were believed to be behind a bombing of a Buddhist temple in August, police said.
