Three people arrested by Densus 88 on Friday morning were identified as J, W, and A. They were arrested in Cisarua, Dayeuh Kolot and Margasari – all in West Java.
The two others, HR and IS, are married. They were arrested in Paledang village, Garut regency, West Java.
Yusri said HR and IS were arrested because they were related to Ahmad Muslih, the suspected suicide bomber in the Kampung Melayu terror attack.
"Investigation results revealed Ahmad Muslih lived in Garut for three months," Yusri said.
"HR and IS are still being investigated by Densus 88 so we cannot confirm whether they will be taken to Jakarta." (hol/ebf)
