JAKARTA - The U.S. embassy in Jakarta has issued a security alert ahead of election results due on Wednesday, as Indonesian authorities have arrested nearly 30 suspected militants, including some who police say are able to detonate bombs using Wi-Fi networks.
Indonesian authorities have said they are heightening security ahead of May 22, when the official result of last month’s presidential election will be announced. Indonesian police also revealed that some of the suspects have learned how to use Wi-Fi to detonate explosive devices, but it was not immediately clear how advanced their plans were.
JAD does not have an official spokesman, and it is not known if any of the suspects have retained legal representation. The arrests are part of the authority’s efforts to tighten security ahead of an announcement by the General Election Commission on May 22, when nearly 32,000 police and military personnel will be on standby in Jakarta.
