Police Headquarters (Angga Nugraha / VOI)

JAKARTA - The admission of former FPI Legal Aid Secretary, Aziz Yanuar, regarding the discovery of the raw material for making bombs as toilet cleaning fluid has been denied by the National Police Headquarters.

The results of the investigation by the National Police Laboratory stated that the evidence confiscated at the FPI Petamburan headquarters was potential material for making TATP (triacetone triperoxide) explosives.

"We convey the identification results of the Puslabfor team, which has carried out the identification, concluding that the items found are chemicals that have the potential to be used as raw material for the manufacture of TATP explosives," said Head of Public Relations Division of the Indonesian Police, Kombes Ahmad Ramadhan, Friday, April 30.

In fact, the evidence found is also flammable. In its function, triacetone triperoxide also has the potential to be used as a raw material for making Molotov cocktails.

Aziz Yanuar, when confirmed about the search at the FPI Petamburan headquarters, said that the items confiscated by Densus 88 were only powder and bathroom cleaning fluid. So, these items are not for making bombs.

"That the information I got was for cleaning toilets, toilets and places of ablution. Such is the information from several parties," said Aziz who is also Rizieq Shihab's lawyer.

Long before Aziz gave this confession, one of Rizieq Shihab's attorneys, Alamsyah Hanafiah, was also questioned because he was caught carrying a sharp weapon in a car.

Sajam's findings occurred during a trial at the East Jakarta Court on March 26. In Alamsyah Hanafiah's car number B 2049 UBG, the police found knives and machetes that were quite long.

Alamsyah Hanafiah has also confirmed that this sajam belongs to him. But Alamsyah uses the sajam only for cutting mangoes and cables on the road.

"It does exist to cut mangoes, there are sharp weapons. That is our preparation if the cables break and so on. If I'm not mistaken, it's like a knife," he said.
