Police in Indonesia have arrested a people smuggler and are considering whether to extradite him to Australia to stand trial.
The head of the anti-people smuggling task force there says
Sayyeed Abbas Azad was detained early on Wednesday.
Senior Commissioner Budi Santoso says Australian Federal Police have told him Abbas organised a boat that arrived at Christmas Island two weeks ago with more than 100 asylum seekers on board.
The ABC reports Australia has wanted to extradite Abbas for well over a year.
