SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Top Jemaah Islamiah (JI) leader Zulkarnaen, arrested last week in Indonesia after 18 years on the run over the 2002 Bali bombings, was among 23 suspected militants flown to the capital Jakarta on Wednesday (Dec 16).

With their hands and feet cuffed and wearing orange uniforms and full face masks, the suspects were escorted under the tight guard of the elite counterterroism squad, known as Detachment 88, as they arrived at Jakarta's main Soekarno-Hatta International Airport from Lampung province, in Sumatra.
