Indonesia’s most-wanted terror suspect arrested (AP) – NIMBRUNG.NET

JAKARTA, Indonesia – Indonesia‘s elite anti-terror squad arrested the country’s most-wanted man and two of his aides in a series of coordinated raids on Java island, police said. Another suspected militant was killed the shootout.

Abdullah Sunata is accused of helping set up a network that was reportedly plotting a Mumbai-style attack targeting foreigners at luxury hotels in the capital, Jakarta, and several high-profile assassinations, including President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

He jumped to the top of the fugitive list in the world’s most populous Muslim nation following the deaths of Nordin M. Top and Dulmatin, who both died at the hands of police in the last year.

“We have successfully arrested Sunata and two other suspects,” national police spokesman Maj. Gen. Edward Aritonang told The Associated Press after a raid on their rented home in Cungkrungan, a village in Central Java province late Wednesday. They found a bomb in a backpack and several revolvers.

An earlier raid on a house in nearby Girimulya village also yielded explosives and weapons.
