The detention of Bashir, considered by many foreign governments as a driving force for radical Islamic movements in Indonesia, follows recent moves by police to combat a relatively new militant network that plotted to attack the president. Ansyaad Mbai, head of the government's anti-terror desk, told Reuters police had strong evidence Bashir was connected to a group which ran training camps in Indonesia's westernmost Aceh province and which had planned to assassinate President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and other state officials at an independence day ceremony on August 17. Jakarta was hit by deadly suicide attacks on two luxury hotels last year, but investors have not been deterred from pouring money into longer-dated bonds and the stock market. Officials said Bashir had been detained by the Detatchment 88 anti-terror force. But police said they could not immediately confirm the news. Bashir is the leader of Islamist group Jema'ah Ansharut Tauhid , and a founder of the al-Mukmin boarding school at Ngruki in Solo. The school is notorious for some of its graduates, including Amrozi, one of the Bali bombers who was executed in 2008 for planning the bomb attacks on the resort island in 2002 which killed more than 200 people. A high-ranking government source said that police also captured three members of JAT's military wing during a raid on a house in Cibiru in western Java over the weekend. Police discovered bombs, chemicals, and ammunition in two raids in Cibiru and Subang in West Java, the source said. Brussels-based International Crisis Group said in a report last month that some members of JAT were involved in violent plots foiled by police. JAT "is a mass membership organisation but wholly dependent on , without whom it would quickly disintegrate," ICG said in the report. Bashir has been detained twice before, and has served time in prison. His current detention suggests police may have evidence that members of groups previously thought to have renounced violence in favour of religious outreach, such as JAT, may be involved in more deadly forms of jihad. "Bashir and JAT have repeatedly stressed that they are involved only in legal activities and could not possibly be involved in terrorism, but from the beginning they have played very close to the edge," ICG said in its July report. JAT believes that jihad against "the near enemy -- local officials who reject Islamic law -- as important as the far enemy -- America, Israel and their allies," the report said. Indonesian police said in June they had uncovered plots to attack the Danish embassy and a police ceremony in the capital Jakarta, and have said militants may be switching tactics from bombing Westerners to armed attacks on state targets.
