Police send team to the Philipines<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: Indonesian police have sent a team of investigators
\nto the Philippines following the arrest of four Indonesians
\ncarrying explosives in the southern Philippines last week.<\/p>\n
The team was assigned to look into possibilities the
\nIndonesians were related to regional terrorist group Jemaah
\nIslamiyah (JI).<\/p>\n
\"Philippines' authorities have yet to establish the connection
\nbetween these men with JI and our team is trying to verify the
\nlinks of these men to the organization,\" police spokesman Brig.
\nGen. Edward Aritonang said Tuesday, as quoted by detik.com.<\/p>\n
He said police would support the foreign ministry in ensuring
\nthe Indonesians were tried fairly and openly.<\/p>\n
The alleged terrorists, identified as Yustinos Barahama, Alan
\nPanggilawan, Mark Panggilawan and Charlito Panggilawan were
\narrested last week with a Filipino, carrying two-bags of
\nexplosives at a bus station in General Santos city.<\/p>\n
Two Indonesians are currently serving jail terms in the
\nPhilippines for carrying explosives and involvement with the
\nterrorist network.--JP.<\/p>",
