Terrorist suspect blames the U.S.
JAKARTA: Terror suspect Furqon Abdullah said on Monday the United States played
a role in the capture of him and his colleagues in Pakistan last year.
"I saw the involvement of foreigners in my arrest. The police who arrested me in
Pakistan were nothing but the accomplices of the Americans," Furqon Abdullah told
the court hearing his case.
Reading out his defense at the Central Jakarta District Court, Furqon said the
Pakistani police told him that Jakarta had ordered his arrest and deportation.
"My friends and I were the victims of paranoid people," said Furqon. Pakistan
deported six Indonesian students in December, and four of them are now standing trial
for their alleged involvement in terrorist activities. -- JP
