Updated: 2009-07-24 21:20 But last Friday's attack showed that terrorists, possibly Noordin's violent Jemaah Islamiyah splinter group, are still able to strike closely guarded Western targets in the heart of the capital, reviving fears that more bombings may follow.
Ariana Rahma, Noordin's wife, told investigators she hadn't known her husband's true identity until his photo was shown on TV and in newspapers last weekend, said her lawyer, Achmad Kholid. She believed that the man she married in 2005 — who was introduced to her by her father — was named Ade Abdul Halim and came from Sulawesi. Rahma last saw her husband and father June 22, her lawyer said, when the men narrowly escaped a police raid that found bomb-making material at the family home in the town of Cilacap. She "learned from media reports that she is the wife of the most-wanted Islamic militant suspect in Southeast Asia," Kholid said. "She told us that her husband and father decided to not return home because they were afraid to be captured."
