10 detained over terror bomb plot in Indonesia

Ten suspected militants arrested in Indonesia with a cache of bombs were part of a "terror network" linked to the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) Islamist group, police said Thursday. Police said one of the suspects was a bomb-making expert who was associated with Mas Selamat bin Kastari, the alleged leader of JI's Singapore operations who escaped from prison there on February 27. Police did not name the suspects or reveal details of their alleged plot except to say they were planning to bomb targets in Indonesia.
