Southeast Asia
4 more JI members arrested
2006-01-20
Police captured three Islamic militants suspected of links to an Al Qaeda linked terror network blamed for a series of bloody attacks in Indonesia, police and media reports said on Friday.

The men were detained Thursday in central Java province, Koran Tempo daily reported, adding that they were believed to be linked with Southeast Asian terror group Jemaah Islamiyah, which is accused of two attacks on the resort island of Bali that killed more than 220 people.

Police spokesman Col. Bambang Kuncoko confirmed police had arrested some suspects but could not release more information out of fears of jeopardizing “ongoing investigations in the field.”

He said police could hold the men for seven days before having to charge or release them.

Koran Tempo said the men were believed to have links with Noordin Top, a Malaysian militant alleged to be a senior member of Jemaah Islamiyah.

Police on Thursday said they had arrested a “henchman” of Noordin in another raid in central Java earlier this week.

Last week, police arrested four suspects on Java island, three of whom they said had links to Noordin. It is unclear whether those four have been charged or released.
