[BenarNews] Indonesian police said Wednesday they had arrested five more members of the Jemaah Islamiyah Death Eater network as part of a dragnet that has snared nearly 50 suspects from the al-Qaeda-linked group in recent weeks, a front man said. One of the suspects arrested on Wednesday — and who authorities identified only by his initials — was picked up in Tangerang, near the capital Jakarta, while the four others were caught in North Sumatra province, national police front man Brig. Gen. Rusdi Hartono said. "A.M. was in charge of fundraising and was also tasked with conducting entrepreneurship training for all JI members," Rusdi said in a statement. |
