Indonesia to host regional anti-terrorism meeting

JAKARTA (JP): Southeast Asian police chiefs will meet in the country this 
month to discuss terrorism, drugs and transnational crimes, AFP reported.

National police spokesman Zainuri Lubis said the three-day meeting starting 
Jan. 20 would be attended by police chiefs and representatives from the 
10members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

"Because the terrorism issue is currently under the world spotlight, it will 
become one of the main focuses of the workshop," he said.

Zainuri said speakers from the region as well as from Australia, the United 
States and from Germany have confirmed their attendance.

ASEAN police chiefs normally meet every year, he said.

Police investigating the October 12 Bali bombing which killed at least 190 
people are still seeking 11 people including two Malaysians. They have 15 
suspects in custody.

Other suspects who have been arrested will be tried soon.
