JAKARTA, INDONESIA - INDONESIA has arrested two more members of Islamic militant group Jemaah Islamiah, a senior police official in Jakarta said.

The arrests may help police to track down Noordin Mohammad Top, one of the most senior members of the Jemaah Islamiah who is still on the run.

The two men - Abdul Rohim, who also uses the name Abu Husna, and a man whom the police official identified only as Agus - were caught in Malaysia more than two weeks ago and have been transferred to a detention centre in Jakarta, according to the police official, who declined to be identified by name.

Abu Husna 'is a member of the markaziah, the central board of the organisation,' the police official said, while the man identified as Agus was involved in attacks in Sulawesi and Java, and has close links to Abu Dujana, the military commander of Jemaah Islamiah, he added.

Further details may be released in the next day or two, another police official said.

Jemaah Islamiah, which wants to create an Islamic caliphate in Southeast Asia, was responsible for a series of attacks in the region including the 2002 bomb attacks in Bali in which over 200 Indonesians and foreigners were killed. -- REUTERS
