Indonesian police said yesterday they had made their first arrest in connection with the October 1 triple suicide bombing in cafes on the resort island of Bali which left 23 people dead.

Hasan S, 45, a construction worker who was detained on Sunday in his home in East Java, allegedly shared a boarding house room in late September with one of the three as yet unidentified bombers.

He has been taken to Bali and can be held for seven days without charge under Indonesia's anti-terrorism law.

Detectives said they have so far questioned 259 witnesses but have yet to make a breakthrough.
