The three suspects were arrested on the outskirts of the capital on Saturday, shortly before an alleged terrorist attack was to be carried out this weekend, authorities said.
The arrests have already raised eyebrows among many in Indonesia as one of the suspects is a woman. That has raised fears that terrorist networks in the country are now using female recruits to carry out attacks.
"This marks a new chapter of terrorism in Indonesia, where the suicide bombing was to be carried out by a woman," a terrorism analyst said on Indonesia TV, according to the Associated Press.
The arrest occurred in Bekasi after authorities raided a dormitory and found an unused bomb. Police said the attackers intended to detonate the bomb at the presidential palace (pictured above) during the changing of the guard.
Growing terrorism concerns
Authorities said that they had found a will belonging to the woman and that the document described her desire to take part in a suicide attack.
According to authorities, IS has some 1,200 supporters in the country.
