Indonesia: Basyir once again accused of terror links
Written by Admin Friday, 17 December 2010 07:37
SOLO - INDONESIAN police on Tuesday revealed fresh details of the terrorism allegations against radical cleric Abu Bakar Bashir, saying he was the figurehead of a new Al-Qaeda-style terror network.
National Anti-Terror Agency (BNPT) director Petrus Golose said the grizzled 72-year-old preacher was assembling a new network featuring some of the region's most wanted militants when their plans were discovered in February.
'Abu Bakar Bashir is their leader,' he said at a press conference in Solo city, Central Java province, where police arrested Abu Tholut, seen as one of the most dangerous alleged extremists in the mainly Muslim country, last week.
Bashir was arrested in August and remains in custody awaiting trial on charges including inciting terrorist acts, which carries the death penalty.
It is the third time the bespectacled cleric has been arrested on terror-related charges since 2002 but police have failed to make any of the allegations stick.
He served almost 26 months for conspiracy over the 2002 bombings of tourist nightspots in Bali that killed more than 200 people, before being cleared and released in 2006. -- AFP
