Indonesian investigators said today it was too early to link the main suspect in the Bali blast to any established terror group, as a clearer picture of the bomb plot emerged.
National police chief Da'i Bachtiar said it was not known whether the Indonesian mechanic arrested in the case, Amrozi, was tied to Osama Bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist network or Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), its alleged Southeast Asian ally.
"So far we have not yet seen (links with) a group," Bachtiar told the Detik.com news portal.
"When things are complete we will be able to talk about that. It is possible that a group may later claim (responsibility)," Bachtiar added.
Amrozi has allegedly confessed to Indonesian investigators that he helped build the bomb which killed more than 190 people when it ripped through packed nightspots in the tourist destination on October 12th.
