Police : Terrorist suspects siblings

Police said Friday the two terror suspects shot dead in a raid earlier in the day and one captured are siblings from the same family.

Police arrested Fajar in Bekasi, West Java, prior to the raid on a boarding house in Ciputat, South Tangerang, where two suspects were shot dead after throwing three pipe bombs at officers.

Police believe the two terrorist suspects killed were M. Syahrir and his younger brother Syaifuddin Zuhri. Fajar is the youngest of the three.

Their brother-in-law, Ibrohim, was a terror suspect killed in a raid in Temanggung, Central Java, in August.

Residents living near the boarding house said Fajar rented a room at the house last month, while Zuhri and Syahrir joined him about a week ago. (bbs)
