All five men detained in Indonesia in connection with this month's suicide bombings on the resort island of Bali that killed 20 people have now been released. Police spokesman Sunarko Danu Ardanto says two men arrested in North Sulawesi province have been released after less than two days in custody. There is insufficient evidence to link them to the October 1 attacks. Two other men arrested in Banten province on the island of Java on October 12 were released on Monday. The first man suspected of involvement in the bombings was set free last week.
Officials have said they suspect Malaysians Noordin Mohammad Top and Azahari Husin, who are leading members of the Islamic extremist group Jemaah Islamiah (JI), could have masterminded the latest Bali attacks. Noordin and Azahari are also believed to have played key roles in the 2002 Bali blasts which killed 202 people, including 88 Australians. They are also thought to have been involved in deadly suicide attacks at a hotel and the Australian embassy in Jakarta. |
