Police question Indonesia's most wanted man

Police in Indonesia have begun questioning Tommy Suharto -- the millionaire son of former dictator Suharto.

Hutomo Mandala Putra, widely known as "Tommy," was arrested yesterday in Jakarta after a year on the run.

He's under investigation for allegedly ordering the murder of Supreme Court Justice Syafiuddin Kartasasmita -- who sent him to jail last year over a land scam that cost the state more than 10-million U-S dollars.

They also plan to question him over the illegal possession of firearms and explosives.

Police say they could hold Tommy in custody for up to 20 days.
