| Indonesian police are preparing to begin formal questioning of Imam Samudra, the alleged mastermind of the Bali bombing. He has been moved to Jakarta, where he will face up to three to four days of interrogation over the Bali blast and other bomb attacks in Indonesia over the last two years, chief investigator General I Made Mangku Pastika said. Truncheons - Check. Giggle juice - Check. Cattle prod - Check. OK, we're ready. Police say that Imam Samudra has already admitted to planning the Bali bombing and is said to have been giving police more details about the attacks, reportedly telling them that two teams were involved and one of the bombers was killed in the blast at Paddy's bar. Three other men - Abdul Rauf, alias Syam; Yudi, alias Andri or Andri Oktavia; and a man identified only as Amin - who were arrested in west Java last week will also be questioned regarding these attacks, the agency said. Lots of alias here. Didn't do them much good. Police have this week also arrested four other men with alleged links to Imam Samudra, although it is not clear whether any of them are implicated in the Bali bombing. Indonesia's state Antara news agency said three men - Ichwan, Armanto, and Pujata, were arrested in west Java on Sunday and are said to have hidden a bomb on Imam Samudra's behalf. Another man, identified as Agus, was also apprehended in west Java on Monday, General Pastika said. Cops have been busy picking up Samudra's friends. Giggle juice must be working. |
