13 held over Indonesian bombings

INDONESIAN police have arrested 13 more people suspected of involvement in a wave of bombings across the country, a police spokesman said.

The arrests were made following information gained from several of the 10 suspects detained over last month’s car bombing at the JW Marriott hotel in Jakarta, said senior commissioner Zainuri Lubis, a police spokesman.

Nine of the suspects were arrested in Jakarta, two in Lampung in southern Sumatra, and two in the Central Java city of Solo, Mr Lubis said yesterday.
