Police detain terrorist look-alike

SURABAYA: Police in the East Java town of Pasuruan on Saturday arrested a man whose face resembles Abu Dujana, a suspect in the bombing outside the Australian Embassy on Sept. 9.

The man, identified as Yudi Firmansyah, denied the accusation, telling the police he was a traveler who had just visited the graves of the Walisongo Muslim preachers located in several towns in the province.

Pasuruan police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Lukman Wahyu Hariyanto said the questioning of Yudi would continue, however. The police also tried to check the mental health of Yudi who appeared stressed during questioning.

Earlier in the day, Cimahi police in West Java released Ari Gunawan, who was arrested on Thursday, as investigators suspected he was Malaysian fugitive Noordin Moh. Top, a mastermind of the embassy attack. -- JP
