PPP chairman condemns attack, urges calmThe chairman of the United Development Party (PPP), Suryadharma Ali, condemned the bombing of  a mosque at the Cirebon police complex.

A bomb, allegedly triggered by a suicide bomber, exploded at the mosque during Friday prayers at 12:50 p.m. The bomb killed the suspected bomber and injured people in the congregation, comprising mostly police officers.

“The PPP condemns the inhumane act of violence which has victimized innocent people,” Suryadharma said as reported by MetroTV news.

Suryadharma, who is also the Religious Affairs Minister, urged the police to carry out a full investigation into the attack, including the perpetrator and the motive.

“I also call out to all Muslims to refrain from being provoked by this inhumane act. Leave this act of violence to security officers to resolve,” he said.
