| 2005-07-11 |
| Indonesian police have arrested a man accused of sheltering one of the most wanted men in Southeast Asia, a senior police spokesman said on Monday. "Ahmad Fauzan was arrested on July 7 in Mojokerto, East Java, for hiding Noordin Top around February to March 2005," Inspector General Aryanto Boedihardjo told reporters. Police have been hunting for Noordin M. Top, a Malaysian man they say played key roles in the Bali nightclub bombings in 2002, and blasts at a Jakarta hotel in 2003 and the Australian embassy in the Indonesian capital last year. Boedihardjo said police would determine how to proceed against Fauzan in the next few days. He said the arrested man had hidden Top for 14 days, but did not reveal the location. |
