Indonesia names two more Bali bombing suspects JAKARTA, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Two Indonesians arrested this month, including a close aide to the country's most wanted militant, were named suspects on Monday for involvement in last year's restaurant bombings on Bali, a police spokesman said. Police last week declared four other men suspects in the same case on charges of helping hide accused militant mastermind Noordin M. Top during and after the bombings that killed 20 people at three eateries on the famed resort island. "The other day we named four. Today, it has become six suspects," deputy national police spokesman Anton Bahrul Alam told reporters. Alam said the two were named suspects for assisting in the attacks. Police have been conducting a nationwide manhunt for Malaysian Top, a senior member of Jemaah Islamiah, a shadowy militant group seen as the Southeast Asian arm of al Qaeda. Top is blamed for helping mastermind a series of bombings in Indonesia in recent years, including the 2005 Bali attacks that were carried out by three suicide bombers with backpacks. Alam said one of the two latest suspects, Subur Sugiarto, was a close associate of Top. Sugiarto videotaped messages from Top, in which the Malaysian threatened the West with more attacks, Alam said. He also videotaped farewell messages from the three suicide bombers before the Oct. 1 bombings on Bali, Alam added. Top worked closely in Indonesia with fellow Malaysian Azahari bin Husin, who was killed in a police raid on his East Java hideout in November. Top eluded capture at the time but officers found the videos at a separate hideout. Police say Top is an expert in recruiting young suicide bombers among Indonesia's impoverished masses and believe he is still in the country. Since the Oct. 2002 nightclub bombings on Bali, which killed 202 people, Indonesian police have arrested hundreds of Islamic militants and convicted scores on terrorism charges. http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/JAK97911.htm
