| THE detained brother of Hambali, the alleged operation chief of the Jemaah Islamiah terrorist network, is believed to have been involved in the Marriott Hotel blast that killed 12 people in Jakarta, Indonesian police said today. Rusman Gunawan was one of six Indonesian students taken into custody upon their extradition in December from Pakistan. Two have been released for lack of evidence. "Gunawan is believed to have been involved in the Marriott bombing," said Brigadier General Pranowo Dahlan, head of the police anti-terrorism department. He refused to elaborate, saying "police are still investigating and developing the case". Gunawan reportedly told officials in the Pakistani port city of Karachi that he sent $US50,000 ($A63,000) to Hambali. |
