Indonesian National Police Chief Spokesman Insp Gen Abubakar Nataprawira said Thursday the nine terror suspects arrested in South Sumatra had links with terror networks in Singapore and wanted top terror suspect Noordin M Top.
In Singapore, the networks included the group of Mas Slamet Kastari (Singapore national). Kastari, 45, escaped from a jail in Singapore some time ago.
Abubakar said the South Sumatra networks were known to have links with the Singapore rings after police arrested a suspect identified as MH in Musi Banyuasin district, South Sumatra, on June 28, 2008.
"The police arrested MH after they obtained a tip-off from Singapore that he was involved in terror activities in that country," Antara news agency quoted Abubakar as saying here.
After obtaining information from MH, anti-terror police arrested the nine terror suspects on Wednesday in Palembang.
In a raid on a house on Jalan Papera, police discovered and seized eight partly-assembled bombs and 13 fully built-up bombs, and 50 kilogram of explosive materials.
