Jakarta – Indonesian police said yesterday that rebels from the separatist Free Aceh Movement (GAM) were behind last month's bomb attack on Parliament, and that one man still wanted over the incident had fled to the rebellious province.
Police arrested two men late on Wednesday over the July 14 attack that caused minor damage. No one was hurt in the incident.
"We have arrested two men. A third has run off to Aceh. This group we have identified as GAM, which has conducted several bombings in other places," National Police chief General Da'i Bachtiar told reporters.
Police believe the men were also behind explosions in April at Jakarta's international airport and near the UN building in the capital. No one died in those blasts.
