JAKARTA: Singaporean Fajar Taslim and nine other terror suspects arrested in Sumatra in July may face the death penalty, a source close to the case told The Straits Times.

They were nabbed by Indonesia's anti-terror crack squad Detachment 88 during a raid in a rented house in Palembang, South Sumatra. The raid also uncovered 22 home-made bombs that were ready to use as well as cachets of explosive.

Indonesia's Attorney-General Hendarman Supanji said that Indonesian police have completed their investigation and submitted a dossier to the state prosecutors.
