JAKARTA: Five of the six people rounded up in an anti-terror blitz in Indonesia recently were Singaporeans and they will be charged only with committing immigration offences, according to the police.

'There is no evidence that they are involved in terrorism activities in this country,' national police criminal investigation director Susno Duadji said yesterday.

He confirmed that only one of the six, an Indonesian,�was involved in terrorist activities in the country.

'The Singaporeans were arrested on suspicion of forging identification documents, breaking immigration rules and giving false information. They made identity cards as Indonesians when they were not. That's forgery,' Mr Susno said.

Two of the Singaporeans nabbed recently are terrorist suspects in Singapore while the remaining three are related to one of them, he said, declining to reveal their names. All six were taken into custody, following a series of raids by the anti-terror squad Densus 88 in Central Java and Lampung on June 21.

While Commissioner-General Susno declined to disclose their identities, his colleagues in Central Java and Lampung separately told reporters that the Singaporeans were Husaini Ismail and Samad Subari, 53.

The other three Singaporeans were Husaini's wife Rasidah Subari, 44, and their two sons Lukman, 20, and Mukmin, 19, reported Kompas daily.

The sixth person detained is Saefuddin Zuchry, an Indonesian with links to Jemaah Palembang, a new terror cell founded in South Sumatra by another Singaporean JI leader Mohammad Hassan Saynudin.

Hassan, a member of a five-man cell that plotted to attack Changi Airport, has been sentenced to 18 years in jail after a court in Jakarta convicted him of killing a Christian teacher and planning attacks against Westerners in Indonesia.

Husaini was the last member of the five-man cell, led by Mas Selamat Kastari, to be arrested. Mas Selamat, the head of JI in Singapore, was recaptured in Johor in April after more than a year on the run following his escape from a detention centre in Singapore. He is now detained in Malaysia.
