Police question Jakarta suspects
JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) -- Indonesian police have detained 10 people for questioning, four of them are believed to be linked to the suicide car bombing in front of the Australian Embassy that killed nine people and wounded more than 180 others, National Police Chief Dai Bachtiar said Saturday.
Bachtiar said one of the four suspects admitted to transporting the explosives used in the September 9 bombing from house-to-house and receiving instructions from Dr. Azahari Husin, one of two Malaysians believed to have planned the attack.
Police located a safe house in Jakarta believed to have been used by the suspect, Husin, and Nurdin Mohammed Top, the other suspected mastermind.
Indonesian authorities say Husin and Top have ties to Jemaah Islamiya (JI), a militant group based in Indonesia with ties to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network.
Indonesian and Australian police officials said last Friday's attack was carried out by at least one suicide bomber because of the way the vehicle and body parts were spread out from the point of impact, about four meters (13 feet) from the embassy's gate.
According to authorities, 182 people were injured in the blast, many of them critically.
No Australians were killed in the attack.
