The North Sumatra Police have identified the suspected mastermind of an attack on a North Sumatra Police post as 32-year-old Firmansyah Putra Yudi.
“He has been named a suspect for his alleged role behind the attack,” National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Setyo Wasisto said on Tuesday.
On Sunday at 3 a.m., two perpetrators fatally stabbed a resting police officer, Adj. First Insp. Martua Sigalingging, and wounded another at the North Sumatra Police's Checkpoint 3 post.
One of the suspected assailants, identified as Ardial Ramadhana, died after being shot by mobile brigade (Brimob) personnel, while his alleged accomplice, Sawaluddin Pakpahan, was seriously wounded and hospitalized before undergoing police questioning.
The police earlier named a driver, identified as Boboy, a suspect in the case for his alleged role in surveying the area before the attack. The police confiscated writing material, video recordings and documents on terrorism activities from the suspect's home.
Ardial and Sawaluddin were allegedly connected to terrorist group Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), which is suspected of being behind the recent Kampung Melayu twin bombings at a Kampung Melayu bus station. (kuk/dic)
