Jakarta (ANTARA News) - National Police Headquarters is not yet prepared to explain the arrest of nine terror suspects in Palembang, South Sumatra two days ago.

"They have been taken from Palembang to Jakarta today for detention at the Police`s Mobile Brigade`s detention center in Kelapa Dua, Depok," he said.
Police also confiscated pieces of evidence such as 19 home-made bombs and potassium chlorate.
Abubakar was not prepared to answer reporters` questions on the possibility of the involvement of foreign nationals.
"We still do not know who they are and to what networks they belong because they were arrested only yesterday," he said.
The role of each suspect was also not yet known because the investigation was not yet finished, he added.
The nine terror suspects who were arrested on Wednesday by anti-terror police in Palembang were at 9 am on Thursday flown to Jakarta.
Tightly escorted by police officers, the nine men were herded into a police aircraft at Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport in Palembang.
The nine were rounded up in anti-terror raids conducted in Palembang on Tuesday and Wednesday.
In a raid on a house on Jalan Papera, police discovered and seized eight partly-assembled bombs and 13 fully built-up bombs, and 50 kilogram of explosive materials.
The police left the house belonging to the late Rustam Alamsyah in a mess as they had to search the house intensively before finding the dangerous objects and materials hidden in the house`s loft.(*)
