“This is an Islamic militant group, a splinter group of Jemaah Islamiah
who established a training camp in Aceh,” said national police
spokesman Saud Usman Nasution.
“They were trying to do a heist because they want to collect money for
their fight,” he said.
The five were about to rob a foreign exchange bureau and a gold shop, armed
with two rifles, two ammunition magazines, 48 bullets and a balaclava, said
police.
“Last night we have paralysed five criminal perpetrators who were
planning to commit terrorist acts and rob foreign currency and gold shops in
several locations in Bali,” national police spokesman Boy Rafli Amar
told Reuters.
“All the suspects died during the raids because they defied or shot back
with pistols at the police officers,” said Amar.
Australian media quoted another senior police officer as saying it was
possible the group had been planning to carry out attacks on Thursday, the
eve of Nyepi, or the annual Day of Silence marking Bali’s Hindu New Year.
Balinese traditionally hold large parades on the eve of Nyepi, which also
draws large numbers of tourists, Australian Associated Press said.
The killings follow the start of a trial last month of an Islamist militant
accused of making the bombs used in the 2002 Bali nightclubs attack.
Umar Patek, who was captured in the same Pakistan town where US forces killed
Osama bin Laden, is also accused of mixing chemicals for 13 bombs that
detonated in five churches in Jakarta on Christmas Eve, 2000, killing about
15 people.
Security officials say he belonged to Jemaah Islamiah.
