巴基斯坦抓獲自稱塔利班發言人 (Pakistan Arrests Purported Taleban Spokesman)

巴基斯坦官員宣布拘捕了一名自稱是阿富汗倒臺的塔利班政府發言人的男子。巴基斯坦內政部長阿夫塔布.謝爾寶說，安全部隊星期二抓獲了阿卜杜勒.拉蒂夫.哈基米，但是沒有說他在什麼地方被抓獲，也沒有說他在巴基斯坦從事什麼活動。哈基米在一年半以前開始用衛星電話在不同的地點打電話給國際媒體，通常提供誇大的資訊，但是表達與美國軍隊和阿富汗政府的聲明不同的觀點。

法新社說，他和法新社的最後一次通話是上星期六，當時他聲稱反叛分子在阿富汗南部的赫爾曼省發動了一次襲擊。阿富汗官員說，有一名農夫和一名警察死亡，而哈基米說打死了3名警察。

Pakistani officials have announced the arrest of a man who claims to be the spokesman for Afghanistan's ousted Taleban regime, Abdul Latif Hakimi. Pakistan's Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao says security forces detained Abdul Latif Hakimi Tuesday, but did not say where he was captured or what he was doing in Pakistan. Hakimi began calling international media by satellite phones from different locations around a year and a half ago, often giving exaggerated information, but offering a different viewpoint from US military and Afghan government announcements.

The French news agency says he last spoke to the agency on Saturday when he claimed the rebels had carried out an attack in the southern Afghan province of Helmand. Afghan officials said a farmer and a policeman died, while Hakimi said three policemen were killed.

印尼警方調查巴厘島爆炸盤問數十人 (Indonesian Police Interrogate Dozens in Bali Blasts)

印度尼西亞警方說，已經盤問了與星期六夜間巴厘島自殺爆炸襲擊案有關聯的39人。爆炸案造成22人喪生。可是，儘管進行了大規模的搜捕和廣泛刊登3名自殺炸彈殺手嫌疑人的頭像，有關官員說仍然沒有任何突破。安全官員說，他們懷疑地區性伊斯蘭激進組織伊斯蘭祈禱團策劃了這幾起爆炸事件。

警方目前在搜尋這個組織在逃領導人中的兩人。他們被懷疑策劃了2002年的巴厘島襲擊以及其他爆炸案。據稱是伊斯蘭祈禱團精神領袖的阿布.巴卡爾.巴希爾星期二從囚禁他的監獄發表一份聲明，譴責最近的襲擊事件。

同時，澳大利亞警告說，巴厘島可能還會發生新的炸彈襲擊，特別是星期六一處爆炸地點以北的旅遊娛樂區塞米亞客。

Indonesian police say they have questioned some 39 people in connection with Saturday night's Bali suicide bombings that killed 22 people. But despite a massive manhunt and the widely publicized photos of the three suspected bombers' faces, officials reported no breakthroughs. Security officials say they suspect the regional militant Islamist group Jemaah Islamiyah was behind the bombings.

Police are searching for two of the group's fugitive leaders, who are suspected in the 2002 attacks in Bali and other bombings.

The group's alleged spiritual leader Abu Bakar Bashir Tuesday released a statement from his prison cell condemning the recent attacks.

Meanwhile, Australia has warned of more bombings on Bali -- specifically in Seminyak, a tourist entertainment district north of one of Saturday's bomb sites.
