Indonesia to question cleric Bashir over terror links
Indonesian police named Abu Bakar Bashir a suspect in a series of church bombings and ordered his questioning as part of a crackdown on suspected terrorists after Bali’s weekend car bombing that killed more than 180, mostly foreigners. President Megawati planned an emergency decree to allow police to hold terror suspects without trial, bypassing parliament. Bashir, 64, denies involvement and faces potential arrest as authorities pursue regional militant networks linked to Jemaah Islamiyah.
