Police on Wednesday said they had moved three suspected militants to Bali for questioning over a series of suicide bomb attacks that rocked the resort island last month. "They just arrived here from Semarang and will be questioned in Bali over the October 1 bombings," said Bali police spokesman AS Reniban after the men were flown in from the Central Java capital.The three suspects were identified as Cholily alias Yahya alias Hasan, Anif alias Pendek, and Abdul Aziz. Cholily, who was arrested in Semarang on Nov. 9, was a disciple of slain Malaysian bomb expert Azahari Husin, who had allegedly told him to deliver explosives to another Malaysian extremist, Noordin Mohammed Top. The arrest of Cholily led to the police raid a week ago on the East Java hideout of Azahari, who was shot dead along with an accomplice. There were no immediate details on the two other detainees, Anif and Aziz, who were believed to have been arrested in Semarang on the same day as Cholily.
Meanwhile, National Police Chief Gen. Sutanto said that police would allow Azahari's relatives to see his body, currently being kept at a police hospital here, and to take it home to Malaysia. "We will allow them to see it later. And if later they want to take it, (they should) feel free," Sutanto told journalists at police headquarters. There was no immediate information on when the relatives, a younger brother and an in-law who have been in Jakarta since Sunday, could visit the police hospital morgue.
