Nabbed man 'not terror suspect'

Nabbed man 'not terror suspect'

JAKARTA: Police said here on Saturday they had established that
the man they had apprehended a day earlier was in fact not
Noordin Moch. Top, one of two key terror suspects still at large.

The name of the man was actually Hazli Saleh and a closer
physical examination showed that he did not resemble Noordin,
West Java Police detective officer Comr. Suhirman said.

However, he said Hazli would continue to be detained on
charges of fraud he allegedly committed in Cirebon regency.

One of his victims, Sumiasih, came on Saturday to the West
Police headquarters, where Hazli was being questioned, claiming
she was once deceived by the suspect.

"He offered to work in partnership with me in garment home-
industry, but after I gave him money he later disappeared," she
told journalists in Bandung.

Sumiasih claimed she lost Rp 7 million (US$823) and a
motorcycle due to Hazli's deception.

But the police said Hazli insisted on claiming he was Noordin
Moch. Top who had escaped police arrest in Bandung along with
fellow bomb maker Dr. Azahari Husin.

Noordin and Azahari are on the run and are the top suspects in
the Aug. 5 bombing of J.W. Marriott Hotel in Jakarta that left 13
people dead.

They are also charged with playing a key role in the bombing
of two night spots in Kuta, Bali's famous tourist spot on Oct.
12, 2002, that killed 202 people, mostly tourists.
