The Indonesian government continues to work with the Malaysian authorities to hunt down the most wanted terror suspect Noordin M. Top, an Indonesian official said.

The head of the Anti-Terror Desk at the office of the coordinating minister for political, legal and security affairs, Insp. Gen. Ansyaad Mbai said Sunday that involving Malaysia is important as Noordin is Malaysian.

"We have and will continue to communicate, coordinate with the Malaysian authorities to look for and catch Noordin M. Top," Ansyaad Mbai told Antara news agency on Sunday.

He said that both governments were now also analyzing bombing materials and funding for the terror attacks.

Based the evidence so far, Ansyaad said, Noordin M. Top might be named as a suspect in the Friday's blast.

“We're still analyzing on such a possibility,” Ansyaad said.

Malaysian Noordin M. Top has been suspected to have involved in the 2005 Bali and the 2004 Australian Embassy bombings. (ewd)
