349137Whistle blower maybe? On hindsight, it was too good to be true their swift achievments. Thus, he was spared his life. Been reading too many Robert Ludlums maybe huh?
I am slight surprised he was not shot dead.

Indonesia's antiterror police say the father-in-law of slain Malaysian terror leader Noordin Mohammed
Top was arrested Thursday in West Java.
"It's true that he was arrested at 5:00 am during a police raid in South Garut" district, Tito
Karnavian, head of the Detachment 88 counter-terror squad, told AFP by phone.
Baharudin
Latif, alias Baridin, escaped from a police raid in July on his home in
Cilacap, Central Java. Police said they found bomb-making materials
buried in the yard.
Karnavian said his team was still in South Garut to see "if there are any explosive materials on site".
According
to the International Crisis Group think-tank, Noordin married
Baharudin's daughter Arina Rahmah in 2006 and the couple had two
children.
Noordin, who was killed in a bloody raid by police in
September in Central Java, is believed to have masterminded the July
suicide bombings of Jakarta's JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels.
Seven people were killed.
The 41-year old Malaysian was also
blamed for a 2003 attack on the Marriott that killed 12 people, as well
as the 2004 bombing of the Australian embassy in Jakarta and 2005
attacks on tourist restaurants on Bali.
