Indonesia busts 4 JI members linked to Top
2006-01-15
Police arrested four suspected militants, three of whom had links with an alleged Malaysian terror chief blamed for a series of bloody bombings in Indonesian since 2002, media reports said on Sunday.

Police were not immediately available for comment on the arrests, which the reports said took place on Friday in central Java province.
"We can say no more!"
The Jakarta Post said three suspected militants arrested in the town of Semarang had ties with Noordin Top, who is believed to be a senior member of the Al Qaeda linked terror group Jemaah Islamiyah. Another suspect was detained in nearby Klaten district, the report said.

No other details were immediately available.

Under Indonesia’s anti-terror laws, police can hold suspects for up to seven days before having to charge or release them. Police often do not immediately release news of the arrests for fear other suspects may go to ground.
