JAKARTA, Indonesia - Indonesia's president said he hoped the arrest of the country's most-wanted terrorist would help cripple a cell accused of plotting a Mumbai-style attack targeting foreigners at luxury hotels and planning several high-profile assassinations.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, reportedly a target of the plot, however urged people to remain vigilant and to report all suspicious movements.
The nation's most-wanted, Abdullah Sunata, was led away in handcuffs with two aides, one an alleged expert bombmaker, after raids on their hideouts in Central Java province on Wednesday. He was wanted, among other things, for setting up a jihadi training camp in westernmost Aceh province and for recruiting new members.
