JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesia’s most wanted terrorist was shot in the leg and captured during a weekend raid, police said yesterday, accusing him of involvement in the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings and other deadly attacks.
Abu Dujana, who allegedly leads Southeast Asian militant group Jemaah Islamiyah, is a skilled bomb-maker who trained in Afghanistan where he met Osama bin Laden, said police spokesman Sisno Adiwinoto.
The 37-year-old was captured Saturday with seven other suspected terrorists on Indonesia’s main island of Java, but it took several days to positively identify him using dental and DNA samples.
