Raids on terrorists’ lairs intensified

The air-and-ground offensives in the southern part of Jolo went into high gear after the capture early Wednesday of the wife of a top Indonesian terror suspect, who confirmed the presence of her husband, Dulmatin, and other ASG and JI terror leaders, in Sulu.
Dulmatin’s wife, Istiada BHT Oemar Sovie, is still under tactical interrogation while her two other children are being taken cared-of by the government’s social welfare’s office.
Dulmatin carries a US$ 10 million reward for his capture "dead or alive" along with Umar Patek, who also has also a US-million reward on his head.
Thirty other JI terrorists, believed to be with the group of wanted ASG leader Khadaffy Janjalani and his three other field commanders, are believed holed up in five suspected rebels’ lair in Jolo.
Dulmatin and Patek, another Indonesian, are both suspects in 2002 Bali, Indonesia bombings that killed more 200 people. The duo and Janjalani and his three field commanders are all on Washington’s most wanted list.
