Indonesian police arrest some 100 Muslims
Police in Indonesia have arrested 102 members of a Muslim militant group and seized scores of weapons, including bombs and firearms.
Police made the arrests after raiding the headquarters of the Islam Community in East Java.
They also confiscated ten homemade bombs, knives, machetes and bullets.
Earlier, police arrested 80 members of the militant Muslim Jihad Force.
The group has come under the spotlight for sending thousands of fighters to the Malukus and Central Sulawesi -- both provinces have been hit by religious unrest.
