ARTICLE SNIPPET: “JAKARTA (AFP) - Bombs found in a militant safe house in South Sumatra were packed with bullets to inflict maximum carnage, police said Friday as they interrogated 10 suspected Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) cell members.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Investigators were sifting through mountains of material gathered from the alleged safe house in the South Sumatra provincial capital, including some 20 makeshift bombs, detonators, explosives chemicals and 18 computer hard drives.

They said the cell’s senior bomb-maker was the Singaporean believed to be Mohammed Hassan, alias Abu Hamza, who was the subject of a “red note” from the Singaporean government warning of his alleged terrorist activities.

He was connected to fugitive Malaysian extremist Noordin Mohammad Top, Indonesia’s most wanted man, as well as Kastari, the alleged JI leader in Singapore who escaped from prison there in February and is still at large.

Noordin calls himself leader of Al-Qaeda for the Malay Archipelago and is seen as the head of the most extreme faction of the regional JI network, which aims to create an Islamic caliphate in Southeast Asia.

JI has militant members in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and southern Thailand, but Noordin is considered the leader most set on attacking Westerners.”
