Sketches of Jakarta hotel bombers release by police

Indonesian police have released sketches of two men they believe were involved in last Friday's suicide bombings of two Jakarta hotels.

Indonesian investigators are turning their attention to the possibility that support for the attack came from overseas, using the same routes as those favoured by people-smugglers. As anti-terrorism officials investigate links to Al-Qaeda, they still think the attacks were plotted by Malaysian-born fugitive Noordin Mohammed Top. DNA tests have ruled out two men initially suspected of being the bombers, including one who attended the boarding school of Jemaah Islamiyah's spiritual leader, Abu Bakar Bashir.
