Police arrest two men in Bali blast probe
2005-10-20
Indonesian police said on Wednesday they had arrested two more men in connection with their probe into this month's suicide bombings on the resort island of Bali. The pair were arrested under anti-terrorism laws on Tuesday in the town of Tomohon in North Sulawesi province after a tip-off from local residents, said police spokesman Sunarko Danu Ardanto. He told AFP that the suspects, both in their 20s and identified only by their initials, had been taken to the provincial capital Manado for up to seven days of questioning to determine if they played a role in the bombings. "There are two men, one is CR, 27 years old, and the other is SD, 24 years old," Ardanto said. The 27-year-old man held three different identification cards when he was arrested, Ardanto added.

It was not clear whether the men were believed to have been directly involved in the Oct. 1 attacks on crowded restaurants which killed 20 people plus the three bombers. The arrests bring to five the number of people arrested over the bombings. Two men were arrested in Banten on the island of Java on Oct. 12 and remain in custody, while a first suspect was released last Wednesday after three days in custody because he had no links with the case.
