The National Police's Special Detachment 88 Anti-terror Team is investigating the motive behind an e-mail containing a bomb threat addressed to Saudia Airlines flight number SV-5276 carrying a hajj group.
"From the email, we will see whether there is a potential threat from within the country, whether there is a threat from abroad," said the spokesman for the National Police's Densus 88 Anti-terrorism Unit, AKBP Mayndra Eka Wardhana to reporters in Jakarta, Wednesday.
The investigation was also carried out to find out the identity of the perpetrator who is suspected of being a foreign citizen (WNA).
Densus 88 also coordinated with Saudi Arabian authorities regarding this incident because the object that was threatened was an asset of that country.
"Currently, the Saudi side itself is also developing the threat because the object being threatened is, right, Saudi assets. It's just that it is targeted at Indonesia, at Jakarta," he said.
