JAKARTA, 14 October 2006 - Indonesian security forces have tightened measures in the Central Java region to deter any terrorist acts during Muslim post-Ramadan festivities. The region has been known as one of the havens for terrorists to escape to or hide.

Sunardi (one name only), chief of operations for Central Java police, told Indonesia's Antara news agency, "We will continue to take anticipatory measures. Everything is handled by the Criminal Investigation Directorate."

The report said there are concerns that top terror operative Noordin Moh Top, who remains at large, may hide in Central Java as he has done in the past.
