Three home-made bombs went off in Indonesia's West Java province, before they were used for planned attacks, police said on Saturday.
Deputy Chief of National Police Commissioner General Syafruddin said militants had plotted to launch attacks at a church, a restaurant and a cafe in Bandung city, the provincial capital of West Java.
"The targets were Cafe Bali on Braga street, Celengan restaurant in Astana Anyar and Buah Batu church," he was quoted by the local Metro TV as saying.
However, the bombs exploded before they were planted, according to him.
The pressure cooker bombs exploded in a rental house in Kampung Kubang of Buah Batu sub-district at about 3:30 p.m. local time (0830 GMT) on Saturday, but did not leave any casualties, Syafruddin said.
The police arrested an alleged assembler of the home-made bombs who has initials of AW, he said, adding that the 22-year-old suspect learned to make bombs on the Internet.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
