JAKARTA, May 3 (Xinhuanet) -- The Indonesian police said Tuesday three men arrested in the violence-hit town of Poso in Central Sulawesi province are members of the terror group that carried outdeadly bombings in Bali and at the Marriott Hotel in Jakarta.

    "We strongly suspect them of being members of the Bali and Marriott bombers' networking," district police chief Sholeh Hidayat was quoted by the Detikcom online news service as saying.

    The suspects -- identified as Saiful, Sucipto and Suryadi -- were arrested Saturday in a police intense raid following two minor blasts in the town two days earlier.

    Hidayat said the three are not the natives of Poso and their identity cards register them as residents of East Java and CentralJava provinces.

    They were put in custody for illegal possession of explosives, pistol and hundreds of rifle ammunitions.

    Police also seized from them a diary of Imam Samudra, the mastermind of the October 2002 Bali bombing that killed 202 peopleof mostly foreign tourists. Samudra has been convicted and now in death row.

    Samudra's accomplices, Malaysian nationals Azahari Husin and Noordin Moh Top, are accused of plotting and carrying out the attack on the Marriott Hotel in August 2003 that killed 12 people,including the bomber. The two Malaysians remain at large so far. Enditem
