Police chief warns of further attacks from Marriott Hotel bombers

Indonesia's national police chief, General D'ai Bachtiar, has warned that five suspects from the August bomb attack on a Jakarta hotel could strike again.

Indonesia's state Antara news agency has quoted General Bachtiar as saying authorities must stay alert for the five who remain at large.

Police are looking for alleged Malaysian bomb-making expert, Azahari Husin, and four others over the Marriott Hotel attack, which killed 12 people.

Azahari is also wanted for last October's Bali bombings, which killed 202 people.

Both blasts have been blamed on the Jemaah Islamiah terror group, which has been linked to the al-Qaeda network.
