Indonesian counterterrorism officials will this week interrogate 23 suspected members of al Qaeda-linked terror group Jemaah Islamiah (JI), including its military leader and his bodyguards, after conducting a series of raids in the past two months.
The most significant figure to be captured was JI s suspected military commander Aris Sumarsono, also known as Zulkarnaen, who had been on the run for some 18 years, the counterterrorism police squad Detachment 88 (Densus 88) said on Wednesday.
Zulkarnaen was the architect of the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people, including 11 Hong Kong residents. He was also involved in another bomb blast in Bali in 2005.
