"All pieces found at the scene will be tested by a forensic lab to determine the type of bomb," Prasetyo told a news conference. The attack comes a month after a suspected Islamist stabbed and wounded Wiranto, Indonesia's former security minister, after he had opened a university building in Pandeglang, west of Jakarta. Wiranto, who like many Indonesians uses just one name, has since been discharged from hospital after undergoing surgery. Police spokesman Prasetyo said a man arrested on Tuesday in Bekasi, near Jakarta. He said the man was believed to have fought in Syria and was a suspected JAD member, though he did not draw a direct link to the attack in Medan.
