Ba'asyir ignores police summons
JAKARTA: Muslim cleric and terror suspect Abu Bakar Ba'asyir refused to show up
on Monday for questioning at National Police headquarters, claiming that the
summons did not address him directly.
Ba'asyir's lawyer, Achmad Michdan, said the letter was addressed to the warden of
Salemba Penitentiary instead of his client.
National Police antiterrorism director Brig. Gen. Pranowo dismissed the claim, saying
the letter had been shown to Ba'asyir by the Salemba warden.
Ba'asyir will complete on Thursday the 18-month term he is serving for immigration
violations and document fraud, but his implication in terrorist activities may keep him
in jail. -- JP
