Jakarta mastermind must be found: Smith

The suspected mastermind of bomb attacks on two luxury hotels in Jakarta is a brutal
terrorist who must be brought to justice, Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said on
Sunday after touring ground zero.
Mr Smith said he was "deeply affected" by his tour of the JW Marriott and the
Ritz-Carlton hotels, which were targeted in coordinated suicide bombings on Friday.
"You see enough to understand the horror," Mr Smith told reporters in Jakarta.
Three Australians were among at least eight people killed in the attacks.
Brisbane businessman Garth McEvoy, 54, is confirmed dead. Officially, Perth
businessman Nathan Verity, 38, and Austrade official Craig Senger, 36, remain
"presumed dead".
Fugitive Malaysian-born radical Noordin Mohammad Top, who leads a hardline splinter
group of the al-Qaeda-linked terror outfit Jemaah Islamiah, has been named the
suspected mastermind of the attacks.
After meeting with Indonesian police, Mr Smith said Top was a "possible suspect" but
he was not leaping to conclusions while investigations were still underway.
Nonetheless, he made clear the Australian government's feelings toward Top, who is
also believed responsible for a 2003 attack on the Marriott, the 2004 attack on
Australia's embassy in Jakarta and the 2005 Bali bombings.
"He is a brutal terrorist and we want him brought to justice," he said.
"The Indonesian authorities have been working very assiduously at that.
"They have come very close on occasions to arresting him but they are diligently
seeking to bring him into custody."
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said the Australian government would do all it could to
bring to justice the perpetrators of the "violent, barbaric act of murder".
Mr Rudd said Craig Senger was the first Australian government official to be killed
in a terrorist attack in the line of duty, apart from military and security
personnel.
Mr Senger's family said he was a "wonderful husband, son and brother but also a
beautiful friend".
"Craig greatly enjoyed his life in Jakarta," they said in a statement.
"He performed a rewarding job that he loved and he really valued the many friends
that he had made there."
Nathan Verity's friend Jim Truscott, meanwhile, expressed outrage after he was told
that official photos of Mr Verity's body parts were being circulated via mobile
phone.
"This is a criminal act," Mr Truscott said.
"Please tell anyone that's doing that ... they are aiding and abetting terrorism and
they will be condemned in a court of law."
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade will help the families of the slain
Australians repatriate their loved ones' remains.
It is believed the bombers stayed in the Marriott for two nights before the attacks.
Police say their bombs were "identical" to bombs previously used in JI attacks, and
to bombs found in a raid last week on an Islamic boarding school in Central Java,
carried out as part of the hunt for Top.
The police said on Sunday they had identified one of the two suicide bombers, but
would publicly name him only as "N".
Australia has updated its travel advice for Indonesia, warning of the risk of
further terrorist attacks.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has kept the level of advice the same,
urging people to "reconsider their need to travel" to Indonesia.
But it's added a warning about the "very high" threat of terrorist attacks in
Indonesia.
"There is a possibility of further terrorist attacks in Jakarta and elsewhere in
Indonesia, including Bali," DFAT says on its Smarttraveller website.
