Indonesia - More Bali bombings averted?

Counter Terrorism Blog reports.

On Saturday, Indonesian police raided a safehouse in a small town in Central Java where they believed one of JI’s top operatives, a Malaysian national, Noordin Mohammed Top, was hiding. Though he was not there, two individuals were arrested and two people were killed. The police identified one of the dead as a senior JI leader, but provided no additional information. As a result of the captives’ interrogation, investigators uncovered a cache of weapons in a storage unit in the Central Java town of Temanggung. Police found a backpack filled with explosives, a similar design of the bombs that were used in Last October’s triple Bali bombings that killed 20 people. Additional bomb making materials were recovered. Other materials seized were two weapons, a laptop computer, SIM cards for mobile phones and documents.
