A haul of militant Islamic propaganda, including a video of Osama bin Laden's speeches, and bomb-making equipment, has been uncovered at three houses formerly rented by men accused of organising last month's Bali bombings.

The properties were raided after the arrest last Thursday of Imam Samudra, who investigators say has admitted organising the attack on the Indonesian island that killed more than 180 people on 12 October. Indonesian police said Mr Samudra and several alleged accomplices rented the houses near the city of Solo in Central Java province – two miles from the Ngruki Islamic school founded by Abu Bakar Bashir, believed to be the leader of the Jamaah Islamiya terrorist group accused of having links with al-Qa'ida.

A neighbour said Mr Samudra rented the house for three months but left three days before the Bali bombings.
