Jailed Bali bomber 'guiding' wanted terrorist
2006-05-06
One of the jailed Bali bombers is reported to be guiding Indonesia's most wanted terrorist, Noordin Mohammed Top, in recruiting suicide bombers. A International Crisis Group (ICG) report says Top has communicated with Mukhlas, the imprisoned Bali bomber now on death row.

Top is suspected to have masterminded the 2002 Bali bombings, which which killed 202 people, including 88 Australians. ICG analyst Sidney Jones says security at Mukhlas's prison in Bali has been lax. "What we know is that up through October 2005, when Mukhlas was moved to a maximum security prison in Java, he was continuing to issue materials from his cell in Bali," she said. "Now, we haven't seen anything come out since he was moved to that maximum security prison. But one of the problems has been that there's incredibly lax control over materials and people that go in and out of Indonesian prisons and it's just a warning that because that kind of communication took place when he was in Bali, the Indonesian authorities need to be absolutely sure that it's not taking place where he is now."
