JAKARTA (AP): Nine terror suspects arrested recently had planned "devastating" bomb attacks in shopping malls and churches, and assassinations of Indonesia's top figures, police said Saturday.
One of the suspects - who authorities say killed himself while in police custody - stashed a weapons cache at his rented home, neighbors said.
His house was about 200 meters away from President Megawati Soekarnoputri's private residence, raising suspicions that she was one of the targets.
But police and neighbors denied a news report saying the suspect, Ihwanudin, 28, had planted a bomb in a garbage bin.
On Friday, police announced the arrests of three men in Jakarta and four in Central Java capital of Semarang, between July 4 and July 11.
Police spokesman Brig. Gen. Edward Aritonang confirmed Saturday that another two had been arrested, one in Jakarta and another in Magelang, Central Java.
Police also raided a bomb-making factory in Semarang and seized four boxes of TNT, 25 sacks of potassium chlorate - the chemical used in the Bali blasts - and 1,200 detonators.
