JAKARTA: One of five terror suspects recently arrested in
Sukoharjo, Surakarta, Central Java, was a leading member of the
al-Qaeda-linked Jamaah Islamiyah (JI) network, police said on
Thursday.

National Police chief of detectives Suyitno Landung Sudjono
said the suspect -- identified as Mustaqim -- was an Indonesian
member of JI's central command, and was closely linked to
suspected Malaysian terrorists Azahari bin Husein and Noordin Moh
Top.

The five men, as well as another terror suspect Dahlan -- who
was arrested earlier in Bima, West Nusa Tenggara -- are now being
questioned at the Bali Police Headquarters over their alleged
roles in the 2002 Bali bombings. --JP
