VIVAnews - An expert on Islamic terrorist groups in Southeast Asia and an adviser to the International Crisis Group, Sidney Jones, said the name Ibrahim only appeared after the bombings in the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta.
Ibrohim was known as an employee of Cinthia Florist, whose service was used by the Ritz-Carlton, Jakarta. For the time being, he was still hunted down by the police as regards the Jakarta attacks which took place on July 17. Nine people were killed and many others were wounded during the incidents.
"Maruto is an old player. His name surfaced as of 2006 in the Wonosobo case (Central Java)," said Jones on Friday, July 31.
Maruto Jato Sulistiyono was alleged of involving in the terrorist link of the number one terrorist fugitive in Indonesia Noordin Mohammed Top.
During a police raid in Wonosobo in 2006, a member of Noordin's network, Jabir, was shot to dead.
According to Jones, the public should give the police time to filter the gathered names and then name them suspects.
She believes that people around Noordin want to be recognized as part of Al-Qaeda network.
Therefore, she said, the man behind the internet message which has attracted public attention recently concerning the JW Marriott and Rit-Carlton bombings does not have to be Noordin himself.
"Many individuals consider them part of the Al-Qaeda without having links to the center," she said.
