Farouk Arnaz – The Densus 88 Counterterrorism Unit ran into some luck on Friday when they knocked on a door and a terror fugitive suspect voluntarily opened the door.
"Thank God, today we arrested Danu alias Darno in his house coincidentally," a police officer who refused to be named told the Jakarta Globe. "We actually went to that house for a re-enactment with suspect Heru Komaruddin. Darno, the man we have long searched for, opened the door."
Police arrested Darno who was allegedly involved with the terror network that detonated a bomb at the Cirebon police office mosque in April. On Thursday police found eight bombs in the river in Cirebon during a reenactment of the bombing.
"Darno was with Heru when they threw the bombs into the river," the officer said. "He was a member of Muhammad Syarif's network that blew up the mosque."
The reenactment of the Cirebon bombing was carried out in 10 locations in Cirebon and is expected to be completed on Friday. National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Saud Usman Nasution confirmed that Darno has been arrested.
