Indonesian Police Arrest Terrorist Suspect, Explosives In Raid A special Indonesian police counter-terrorism unit has arrested a terrorist suspect and seized a cache of explosives in the latest raid against an al-Qaeda-linked regional terrorist group, a local report said Tuesday. The US-funded Detachment 88 raided a house in the East Java capital of Surabaya on Monday and arrested its owner, identified as Ahmad Sachrul Uman, alias Khoirul, 24, The Jakarta Post reported. "The police confiscated 12.5 kilograms of explosive substances (including) TNT from Khoirul's home and a number of documents," Adjutant Senior Commander Hari Dahana, Surabaya's police chief, was quoted as saying. "Several armed bombs were also seized." The raid was carried out after a terrorist suspect arrested last week tipped off police about Khoirul, who told police he only ran a store selling motorcycle helmets. It was the fourth raid by counter-terrorism police in a week against suspected members of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), which is blamed for a string of terrorist attacks in Indonesia since 2000. On March 20, police killed one suspect, wounded another and arrested seven alleged JI members in Central Java province. They conducted two raids the following two days on some of the suspects' homes and recovered large caches of arms and explosives. Police said they believed the suspects were part of a JI terrorist cell run by Abu Dujana, an Afghanistan-trained Indonesian militant thought to be the network's acting leader. Dujana is on Indonesia's most-wanted list for helping protect Malaysian terrorist suspect Noordin M Top, a key JI bomb-maker blamed for supplying suicide bombers and materials used in a string of terrorist attacks on foreign targets in Indonesia. Indonesian counter-terrorism police have long been on a nationwide manhunt for Top. His alleged accomplice, Malaysian master bomb-maker Azahari bin Husin, was killed in late 2005 in a shoot-out with police at his East Java hideout. Indonesia, which has the world's largest Muslim population, has been hit by several major terrorist attacks, including bombings on Bali in 2002 and 2005 and the Australian Embassy in Jakarta in 2004. © 2007 DPA <http://www.playfuls.com/news_10_21119-Indonesian-Police-Arrest-Terroris\ t-Suspect-Explosives-In-Raid.html <http://www.playfuls.com/news_10_21119-Indonesian-Police-Arrest-Terroris\ t-Suspect-Explosives-In-Raid.html> > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
