Solo, Indonesia – Indonesian authorities have arrested four Islamist militants suspected of having links to a top terrorist suspect captured last week, a police spokesman said Tuesday.

The arrests resulted from information obtained from the interrogation of Abu Tholut, who was captured Friday in a raid on a home in Central Java, said national police Maj. Gen. Iskandar Hasan.

He identified the four as Anwar Effendi, Wardi, Sukirno, and Sri Puji Mulyo Siswanto. They are suspected of concealing information about terrorism and of hiding Tholut.

Effendi was captured Friday in Jakarta, while the three others were arrested Saturday outside the capital, he told a news conference in the Central Java town of Solo. Two assault rifles, a pistol, bullets and a car were seized from the four, Hasan said.

Tholut, 49, also known as Mustofa, became one of the country's most-wanted fugitives after alleged bomb makers Noordin Top and Dulmatin were killed earlier this year in a series of raids.

He is accused of plotting high-profile assassinations and attacks on foreigners at luxury hotels in the capital.

Petrus Golose of the National Anti-Terror Agency told the news conference that well-known radical Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir was "the leader of the group."

Bashir was transferred to the prosecutor's office Monday by police who have finalized the dossiers in his case, which is expected to be filed with the court within two months. The 72-year-old cleric faces charges of helping set up a new terror cell whose training camp in Aceh was discovered in February.

Golose said police are still searching for at least two other suspects.

Indonesia, a predominantly Muslim nation of 240 million, has battled extremists since 2002, when the al-Qaida-linked network Jemaah Islamiyah bombed two nightclubs on the resort island of Bali, killing 202 people, most of them foreign tourists.
