Now, at last, four suspects have been apprehended.

BBC reports:
Four men have been arrested in connection with the beheadings of three schoolgirls in Indonesia last month.

The Indonesian military said the men, who have not been identified, were being held for questioning.

The teenagers were attacked on their way to their Christian school near the city of Poso, in the eastern province of Sulawesi, on 29 October.

Jakarta said recent attacks on the island were an attempt to foment religious hostility.

There is a profound sickness in Islam that can sanction such atrocities as this, or the blowing up of a wedding party in Jordan, or the killing of school children in Beslan, or a thousand other vile acts and say that it serves the will of God.
