Jakarta, Nov 06: Indonesian police today said they
had arrested a man suspected of owning the Mitsubishi van that
exploded with deadly force outside a Bali nightclub last
month, the state news agency reported.
The man, identified only as Amz, 30, was arrested by a
joint team of officers from Bali, Jakarta and east Java, east
Java police chief Heru Susanto was quoted by the Antara news
agency as saying.
"At this moment that person is being questioned in east
Java," Susanto said.
The man is suspected of being the last owner of the l-300
van believed used in the October 12 blast outside the Sari
Club, he said. More than 190 people, many of them foreigners,
died in the bombing.
Australian federal police who are mounting a joint
investigation say a white Mitsubishi l300 van, with a powerful
explosive device located in its mid-section, stopped before
the massive blast for a few minutes directly in front of the
sari club in a drop-off area not normally used for parking.
