Indonesia arrests over ‘cyanide plot’ against police

INDONESIA yesterday arrested 16 terror suspects who planned to carry out a mass cyanide poisoning against police, according to the national police spokesman.

We rounded them up in a four-day operation last week. They planned to poison police personnel using cyanide,” Col Boy Rafli Amar said.

“Besides poisoning food at police station canteens, they also planned to inject the poison into mineral water bottles,” he said, adding that the suspects revealed the plot during police interrogation.
