Colonel Zaenuri Lubis on Thursday (22/5/03) said Jufri Yus bin Yunus (52) was arrested on May 9 in Kalimalang, East Jakarta. Police have accused Yunus of harboring one of the suspects in the October 12, 2002, Bali bombings that killed 202 people. "He confessed to have known about plans for the Bali attack," Lubis said. Yunus is also suspected of involvement in a Christmas Eve 2000 church bombing in Riau province’s capital city Pekanbaru. Lubis said Yunus, who is currently being detained in Pekanbaru, knew about the church bombing and helped to store the explosives. |
