| [Straits Times] MALAYSIA has nabbed an Indonesian cut-thoat suspect thought to have been a courier for Noordin Mohammad Top, the late bombmaker of terror group Jemaah Islamiyah, a report said on Wednesday. The Star daily reported that Fadli Sadama, 27, was jugged on Oct 13, quoting an unnamed regional counter-terrorism source. He is accused of involvement in a bank robbery and attempting to smuggle weapons. Fadli was reportedly involved in an August heist of US$40,000 (S$52,699) from a bank in the Indonesian city of Medan, according to the paper. It said Fadli was jugged while travelling to Malaysia's southern state of Johor on a bus in possession of two revolvers. The report said Fadli was planning to use the weapons to attack an Indonesian prison holding Toni Togar, believed to be the criminal mastermind of the Medan bank robbery. Malaysian police could not be reached for comment. |
