Police discover bomb-making video
JAKARTA (AP): Video footage seized in a raid on the hideout of Southeast Asia's
terror chief gives step-by-step instructions on how to assemble large bombs, police
said Tuesday, raising concerns that al-Qaida linked militants were planning an attack.
Police spokesman Brig. Gen. Anton Bachrul Alam also said a small explosive found
in a backpack - almost identical to the bombs used in last year's triple suicide blasts
on Bali island - was active "and ready for use."
The discoveries followed a pre-dawn raid Saturday on the hideout of Noordin Top,
believed to be a key leader of the Jemaah Islamiyah terror network.
The group is blamed for at least four bombings in Indonesia in recent years, including
the 2002 attacks on Bali that left 202 dead, strikes in Jakarta in 2003 and 2004 that
together killed 21, and last year's Bali attacks that claimed 20 lives. (**)
