SNIPPET: "The police arrested two terrorist suspects at the house: Fahri Tanjung, also known as Hilmi, and Hamzah. The police also found chemicals they believed were to be used to make explosives and an activated hand-made high-explosive bomb inside the house.

West Java Police chief Insp. Gen. Sutarman said the police detonated the high-explosive bomb on location after failing to defuse it.

Books and VCDs on jihad, as well as an air rifle were seized as evidence. One of the VCDs was titled Afghanistan jihad: The journey of the oppressed.

Sutarman said the suspects had been involved in acts of terrorism in the country over the last few years."

SNIPPET: "In Cileunyi, Detachment 88 members arrested a man identified as Kiki or Aceng. All of the suspects have been taken to National Police headquarters in Jakarta."

SNIPPET: "Noor Huda Ismail, a terrorism commentator at the Institute for International Peace Building, said on Sunday the suspects arrested in the West Java raid belonged to the Sonata network."

SNIPPET: "A field operative with Detachment 88 who requested anonymity, confirmed that all evidence gathered in the field indicated the involvement of JAT."

“Indonesian Police Allege Bashir Was Instrumental in Establishing Aceh Terror Group”
Jakarta Globe | August 09, 2010

SNIPPET: “The National Police say terror suspect Abu Bakar Bashir was arrested after it was discovered that he was allegedly deeply involved in terrorist activities in West Java and Aceh.

Police also say they are searching for a French national allegedly involved in terrorist activities in Indonesia.”

SNIPPET: “He said Bashir — alleged to have been the spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiyah, blamed for a string of deadly terrorist attacks in Indonesia — was arrested in Banjar, West Java, at 8:15 p.m. along with five bodyguards who attempted to obstruct the arresting officers.

Edward said four people had been arrested over the weekend in connection to terrorism, saying the group had a bomb laboratory in Cibiru, Bandung, and planned to blow up a number of targets with car bombs.

“We arrested Fahrul Tanjung and Hamzah in Cibiru, Bandung, where we also found a bomb lab along with a car, a Mitsubishi Gallant, which was prepared for use as a car bomb. The group received the car from a French man.”

Edward added that the French national was still at large.

Police also arrested a man named Gofur in Subang and a chemical expert in Padalarang.

“We arrested Kurnia Widodo, a university graduate majoring in chemical engineering in Padalarang, Bandung,” he said.

Bashir, meanwhile, has arrived at the National Police headquarters, saying the arrest had been fabricated by the United States.

The five arrested alongside Bashir are still en route to Jakarta.”

OPINION:

Another job well done by Detachment 88.

The only thing that would have made it better was if the terrorists had also been detonated at that location.

SNIPPET: “This past Sunday, six terrorists were captured in Medan, North Sumatra province, by Indonesia’s counter-terrorist unit, Special Detachment 88. All were thought to be linked to a paramilitary camp in Aceh that was raided in February and two of them, Pandu Wicaksono Widyan Putro and Bayu Sena, were said to be tied to the twin hotel bombings in Jakarta last July.”

SNIPPET: “Special Detachment 88 will likely continue its raids in and around Aceh to round up those camp members that have thus far evaded the police dragnet.”

“THE SOUTHEAST ASIAN JIHAD ONLINE”

SNIPPET: “Anyone who feels it necessary to claim they represent the truth is probably hiding something, if not lying outright. For example:

arrahmah.com: “get the truth”
voa-islam.net: “one voice of truth”
muslimdaily.net: “inspiring the truth”
7ihadmedia.wordpress.com: “speak out the truth even though the munafiqeen and the mushrikeen hate it!””

SNIPPET: “There is linkage on a personal level between individuals in Indonesia associated with the sites listed below, and the following US-based al-Qaida supporting operations:

http://www.themujahidblogforum.com/
http://themujahidblog.com/
http://revolutionmuslim.com/

There is also linkage on a personal level to the Ansar al-Mujahideen forum.”
