JAKARTA: Police have arrested a Malaysian national for his
alleged role in the 2003 JW Marriott Hotel bombing here.

National Police Director of Antiterror Division Brig. Gen.
Pranowo Dahlan said on Wednesday that the suspect, identified as
Saptu Roni, was accused of withholding information about the
bombing and using a fake passport and other immigration documents
to enable him to stay in Indonesia.

Pranowo said the man was also believed to have been involved
in other bomb attacks in the country over the past few years.

Asked about the reported arrest of two Filipinos in connection
with the Marriott blast, Pranowo said he could not confirm it. --
