JAKARTA, Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- Indonesian police's anti-terror squad arrested five terrorists on Tuesday in West Java province's capital of Bandung.
West Bandung Provincial Police Headquarters Spokesperson Yusri Yunus said that police found chemical substances stashed in a house in downtown Bandung rented by one of the arrested.
"Assembling of those chemical substances into bombs was expected to be done later this month. They said August was the 'appropriate time' to detonate the bombs," Yusri said.
According to information extracted from the suspects, besides targeting police, they planned to attack presidential palace and police's mobile brigade headquarters in Bandung and capital Jakarta.
Yusri said the bombs assembled by them were more devastating compared to the pressure-cooker bombs used in previous attacks.
The five suspects were members of Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), a radical group which has pledged their allegiance to terrorist organization of Islamic State (IS), according to Yusri.
