National Police detectives have arrested one more terrorist
\nsuspect linked to a group of 14, who were apprehended last week
\nfor their alleged role in terrorism attacks in the country,
\nincluding the one at the Australian Embassy last September.<\/p>\n
National Police spokesman Brig. Gen. Soenarko told reporters
\non Tuesday that the suspect, identified only by the initials
\nS.S., was arrested in \"the Jakarta area\" on Friday.<\/p>\n
The officers suspect that he was storing munitions and
\nexplosives, of the same type used in the embassy attack, in
\naddition to aiding and abetting two of the most-wanted terror
\nsuspects -- Azahari bin Husin and Noordin M. Top, both of whom
\nwere born in Malaysia.<\/p>\n
\"We cannot reveal the exact role he had in the terrorist
\ngroup, and we also can't publicly announce the exact location
\nwhere we found him, but I can say that he is closely linked to
\nthe previous suspects we have arrested,\" Soenarko said.<\/p>\n
The arrest came after the police detained activist Joni Achmad
\nFauzani on Wednesday in Mojokerto, East Java for harboring
\nAzahari bin Husin.<\/p>\n
Even though the detectives have captured a new group of
\nsuspects, the police still have not managed to find the location
\nof the two Malaysian fugitives.<\/p>\n
\"We're still trying to find where they (Azahari and Noordin)
\nare,\" Soenarko pledged.<\/p>\n
He refused to speculate when asked where he thought they might
\nbe.<\/p>\n
The police arrested 11 suspects in Surakarta and neighboring
\ntown of Wonogiri in Central Java two weeks ago, while the rest
\nwere arrested in Jakarta.<\/p>",
