JAKARTA, June 12 (Xinhua) -- The Indonesian police's anti-terror squad of Densus 88 have arrested two terrorist suspects in Central Kalimantan province, Indonesian national police spokesman Asep Adi Saputra said here on Wednesday.

The two suspects were linked to the four suspects recently arrested in Jakarta's outskirts area of Bekasi this week.

Asep said the two suspects were arrested on Monday and they had been identified as the ones joining the terrorist training camp in Aceh province's Gunung Salak area.

"The two terrorist suspects arrested in Central Kalimantan have planned attacks targeting the Densus 88 members," Asep said.

Police have arrested several militants who joined the terrorist training camp in Gunung Salak in December last year. The two suspects were the ones who managed to escape from the police's raid on the camp, he added.

During the raid, police also confiscated several communication devices, manuals to assemble bombs and books about jihad teachings, Asep added.
