Police keeps hunt down terror suspect
AMBON, Maluku: Maluku provincial police are still tracking down Arsyad, a Muslim
cleric who has been accused of helping to wage a terror campaign of bombing and
shooting across Maluku province recently.
Detectives are currently being deployed to places believed to be hide outs of the terror
suspect, said chief of Maluku Police Brig. Gen. Adityawarman.
Earlier, police questioned 21 people believed to have information on the whereabouts
of Arsyad, said Adityawarman. "They were released after the questioning, but there is
a possibility that they will be questioned again due to the case," said the one-star
police general.
Arsyad was believed to have trained terrorists on how to assemble bombs and operate
firearms. -- JP
