JAKARTA - A man serving a 19-year jail term for his role in the deadly 2002 bombing of a McDonald's restaurant in Indonesia has been caught nine days after he escaped from prison, police said Wednesday.
'He was arrested again yesterday after his employer reported him to us,' Raden Purwadi, head of the Gowa district police in South Sulawesi, told AFP by telephone.
Wirahadi, 25, broke out of a prison in the provincial capital Makassar along with another inmate on Jan 4.
'He sought and obtained work in Manuju (village) and worked there for three days. The employer tipped us off after he could not produce his identity card despite repeated requests,' Purwadi said.
Wirahadi was being questioned at police headquarters in Makassar, he added.
He was sentenced in 2003 after a court found him guilty of bombing a McDonald's outlet in Makassar, killing three.
The inmate he escaped with, who is still at large, was a murderer serving a 15-year sentence.
Another bomber, Yasmin, who was serving a 20-year term for his role in a 2004 bomb attack on a cafe in South Sulawesi that killed four, escaped from the same jail last year and remains on the run.
