POLICE say they have arrested the headmaster of an Islamic boarding school where a man died earlier this week, reportedly while trying to teach students how to make homemade bombs.
National Police spokesman Brig Gen Ketut Untung Yoga said yesterday that authorities believe the school - set up nearly a decade ago in Sumba island town of Bima - was actually a militant training camp.
He says explosives, dozens of machetes, air riffles, molotov cocktails and jihadi books and videos were found in the building.
Yoga said Abrori Ali, the headmaster, fled the scene after the explosion but was arrested on Friday in his parents' house about 30km away.
Seven other people are in police custody for questioning.
