印尼警方说,他们以穆斯林神职人员巴希尔据称同一个新的激进网络有恐怖主义联系,将其逮捕。

在亚齐的基地组织是一个相对来说比较新的组织,由伊斯兰祈祷团的离心分子组成。伊斯兰祈祷团制造了2002年巴厘岛爆炸案,导致202人丧生。
当局说,巴希尔星期一早上在西爪哇省的尖米士区被逮捕。他将被带到首都雅加达受审

安全分析师康博伊说,当局知道巴希尔参与这个新组织已经有一段时间了。
巴希尔在过去因参与恐怖袭击被逮捕了两次。
Indonesian police say they have arrested radical Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir for alleged terrorist links with a new militant network.
National Police spokesman Edward Aritonang says Bashir was involved in training, selecting leaders, planning terrorist attacks and raising money for al-Qaida in Aceh.
Al-Qaida in Aceh is a relatively new group made up of disaffected members of Jemaah Islamiyah, which is responsible for the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people.
Authorities said Bashir was arrested Monday morning in West Java’s Ciamis district. He was to be taken to the capital, Jakarta, for questioning.
Security Analyst Ken Conboy says authorities have known for some time About Bashir’s involvement with the new group.
Bashir has been arrested twice in the past for involvement with terrorist attacks.
