Bombing suspect arrested S. Sulawesi

MAKASSAR, South Sulawesi: South Sulawesi Police have arrested another suspect in last month's deadly bombing at the Sampoddo Cafe Indah in town of Palopo.

Police identified the suspect as Achmad, who they said played a role in planning the bombing. He was arrested on Saturday in Palu, the capital of South Sulawesi.

He was the sixth suspect in the bombing to be arrested. The other five suspects have been identified as Andi Oddang, Jasmin, Arman, Komar and Idil.

The bombing killed four people and left three others injured.

Sr. Comr. Andi Nurman Thahir, a spokesman for the South Sulawesi Police, said Achmad participated in meetings at Jasmin's house in Palopo to plan the bombing.

South Sulawesi Police chief Insp. Gen. Jusuf Manggabarani said the police had yet to discover a motive for the attack.

"The suspects told police investigators they were angry after being fired from the cafe, which prompted the bombing.

"But we have our doubts and are investigating further," he said. -- JP
