Seven people in Indonesia have been detained after a failed plot to attack Pope Francis , who is currently visiting the country, the Crux website reports today (Sept. 6, 2024).
Local media says the people were taken by police on Sept. 2 and Sept 3 in Jakarta, Bogor, and Bekasi.
Spokesperson Colonel Aswin Siregar told reporters that investigations are still ongoing, and it is not known if the detainees knew each other or were part of the same terrorist group.
"We have a mechanism to monitor and filter. We had tip--off information from members of the public, " he said.
Thank goodness this attack was thwarted.
