The National Police have instructed all police precincts to be increasingly alert following the bomb blast at the Cirebon police mosque this afternoon.

A bomb exploded at the At-Taqwa mosque located in the Cirebon police complex while many of the officers were performing Friday prayers.

“Of course everybody has to be cautious, especially police precincts and those providing services to the public,” police spokesman Insp. Gen. Anton Bachrul Alam said on Friday.

He added that he hoped the incident would not repeat itself.

“Let's combat terrorism that has existed for too long,” he said as reported by tempointeraktif.com.

Anton added that the National Police remained in coordination with the Cirebon police. The police were still investigating the type of bomb the alleged bomber used. The body of the suspected bomber, who allegedly strapped to the bomb to his body, was blown to pieces.
