RI police probe into Davao blast

JAKARTA: Police here are investigating the possible
involvement of five Indonesians in the March 4 bombing of Sasa
seaport in Davao, the Philippines.

"There is an intelligence analysis that says five Indonesians
might have been involved in the bombing. We need to investigate
further to determine its accuracy," National Police Gen. Da'i
Bachtiar said after a Cabinet meeting on Thursday.

He said the police were seeking more information on the five
Indonesians accused of perpetrating the attack from intelligence
officials and suspected bombers now under detention in the Bali
capital of Denpasar and the South Sulawesi capital of Makassar.

"The suspects claimed to know nothing about the five
Indonesians named. However, there is a possibility that their
names are aliases," Da'i said.

Two Indonesian nationals are being detained in the Philippines
in connection with terror activities. -- JP
