JAKARTA - The wife and son of a suspected militant Islamist blew themselves up in their home on the Indonesian island of Sumatra early on Wednesday after hours of tense negotiations with counter-terrorism officers, authorities said.
Police and bomb squad officers had surrounded the house in Sibolga, North Sumatra, after arresting her husband a day earlier over his suspected links to a planned attack on a local police headquarters. The wife and child had remained in the house. “At 1.25 a.m. the wife of the terrorist and their son blew themselves up inside the house,” Prasetyo said, adding the force of the explosion sent debris flying at least a block away.
