As part of this effort, the minister for state security, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, announced on Thursday that his investigators had returned from interviewing an Indonesian-based Qaeda operative who is now in the custody of United States forces in Afghanistan.

Based on the interrogation of the operative, Omar al-Faruq, the government would take "legal steps" in the "next one or two days," Mr. Yudhoyono said.

Indonesian officials said Thursday night that Mr. Faruq had told their interrogators what he had previously told United States agents: that Jemaah Islamiyah and Al Qaeda planned and worked together on terrorist plots in Indonesia as well as in Singapore and Malaysia.
