Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Baasyir had frequently been in Aceh to monitor the military-style training camp used to train terrorists, a police spokesman said on Tuesday.
National Police's head of public relation unit Sr. Comr. Marwoto Soeto said the police had also seized video documentation about the camp in Aceh.
Baasyir has frequently watched the video, he added.
"Ba'asyir has sought sources of funds to finance the camp. The documentation was made by Baasyir men in Aceh as reports that the funds had been used properly," Marwoto explained.
Baasyir was arrested by police's Detachment 88 Anti-terror squad in Banjar, West Java, on Monday.
The arrest was made following a series of raids in four different locations in West Java.
