JAKARTA, July 3: Ten suspected militants arrested in Indonesia with a cache of bombs were part of a “terror network” linked to the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) Islamist group, police said on Thursday.
Police said the suspects were connected to Malaysian extremist Noordin Mohammad Top, who is being hunted for allegedly masterminding several bombings including the 2002 Bali attacks which killed more than 200 people.
At least one of them was also associated with Mas Selamat bin Kastari, the alleged leader of JI’s Singapore operations who escaped from prison there on February 27.—AFP
