JAKARTA, 19 January 2006 - An alleged key aide to a Malaysian fugitive blamed for a series of bloody bombings in Indonesia has been captured, police said Thursday. Subur Sugiarto was arrested on a bus in Central Java's town of Boyolali en route to Jakarta on Tuesday, said Adj. Sr. Comr. Warih Handono. Subur has not been charged with any crime yet, Warih said.

Another local police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, alleged that Subur is a "a henchman" of Noordin Mohammad Top. Noordin is believed to be a senior member of the al-Qaida-linked Southeast Asian terror group Jemaah Islamiyah. Indonesia has arrested and convicted scores of alleged members of the group in recent years. Last week, police arrested four suspects on Java island, three of whom they said had links to Noordin.
