– 10 TERROR SUSPECTS ARRESTED IN INDONESIA
On Wednesday 07/02/2008, the Indonesian anti-terror police unite arrested in Western Indonesia 10 Islamic militants, headed by Mohamed Hasan Saynudin, a Singaporean known as Abu Hazam, and seized caches of 22 powerful bombs packed with bullets in Palembang, a coastal city in South Sumatra, including 10 that were primed to explode.

The arrest were carried out, probably, due to full cooperation between Singapore and Indonesia intelligence and police apparatuses.
The detained militants allegedly planned to assassinate an American teacher, identified as Samuel, and worked in the small town of Sekayu, in Sumatra island, Indonesia. The plot supposed to avenge the upcoming executions of the Bali ‘02 Bombings perpetrators by attacking the Supreme Court, a top Indonesian anti-terrorism official said on Monday 07/28/2008.
