Suicide Bomber at Bandung Police Station Identified as Ex-Terror Convict

Bandung. The suicide bomber who carried out an attack at a police station in Bandung on Wednesday morning has been identified as Agus Sujatno, who has previously served a jail term for another attack.
“He has been jailed for four years for a role in the 2017 cooker bomb attack,” National Police Chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo told reporters in Bandung.
The May 27, 2017 attack involved two suicide bombers who use explosives planted on cookers to blow themselves at Kampung Melayu bus terminal in East Jakarta, killing three policemen.
Agus was imprisoned in the high-security island prison of Nusakambangan off Central Java and released last October.
