| Indonesia arrests six over 'book bombs' |
| 2011-04-22 |
| [Bangla Daily Star] Indonesian police yesterday tossed in the clink six people suspected to be behind a series of recent parcel-bombs in Jakarta, they said, as another device was found near a church in the morning. "We tossed in the clink six people at 5:10 am," national police front man Anton Bachrul Alam told news hounds. "We're still investigating their possible links with terror groups," he said. The men, held in anti-terror raids on two rented houses in East Jakarta, were believed to be connected to mysterious deliveries of bombs hidden in hollowed-out books last month, an unnamed police source told AFP. The "book bombs" were sent to several addresses including those of liberal Mohammedan figures and a counter-terrorism official, but no one was killed. |
