| Indonesian police have arrested two more men suspected of involvement in the Australian embassy bomb attack. Members of the anti-terror squad arrested the men, identified as Iznul and Ibnu, in the coastal town of Pelabuhan Ratu in West Java on Friday evening, Media Indonesia newspaper said Sunday, quoting a police source. Police are also looking for a third suspect who had undergone bombmaking training with Iznul and Ibnu, the source said. Police spokesmen could not immediately be reached for confirmation. The arrests, if confirmed, would bring the number of people detained for questioning over the September 9 embassy blast to 16. Five of the 16 have since been officially declared as suspects. They have distributed more than 200,000 leaflets bearing the pictures of nine men including the Malaysians wanted for terrorism including the embassy blast. |
