JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - Indonesian police have arrested a key terror suspect wanted in the 2002 Bali bombings, last year's attack on the J.W. Marriott Hotel and a suicide blast in September at the Australian Embassy, a media report said Tuesday.  Rois, alias Iwan Darmawan, was arrested on Nov. 10 at a railway station on the western tip of Java island, Kompas daily reported on its Web site quoting an unidentified police source.
Police choose not to publicize the arrest while they confirmed the suspect's identity, the report said. | And ran down any contacts he had. |
Police were not immediately available to comment on the arrest. | Still busy "questioning" him. |
Darmawan played a key planning role in the Sept. 9 attack on the Australian Embassy, which killed 10 people including one suicide bomber, Kompas quoted the police source as saying. The report also said the suspect was involved in the Bali bombings, which killed 202 people, most of them foreign tourists, and a car bomb attack on the J.W. Marriott Hotel that killed 12 people. All three blasts have been blamed on the al-Qaida linked Jemaah Islamiyah terror group.
