| Ain't that interesting? Wonder who dunnit, and why? |
Ambon newspapers say the bodies of Tengku Fauzi Hasbi, alias Abu Jihad, together with those of his two comrades, Edy Saputra and Ahmad Syuridup, were discovered in a grave near the STAIN Islamic Academy of Religion at Kebun Cengkeh, on the outskirts of the city of Ambon.
| Out back of the Islamic Academy of Religion, huh? Might be a clue there, one way or the other. Personally, anytime somebody alias "Abu Jihad" gets waxed, I'm all in favor of it. I hope his exit from this vale of tears was very painful... |
The three disappeared mysteriously from the Nisma hotel in the neighborhood of Waihaong on February 22. Local sources said the three were 'notorious activists' promoting Negara Islam Indonesia (NII – Islamic State of Indonesia). Police said seven people have been detained in connection with the case and two more are being sought. One of those detained, Herumanto alias Yanto, has confessed to involvement in the murder of the three men, but said he did so only because he was paid to assist in thre crime. He said he drew Rp48 million from Edy Saputra’s bank account after having obtained the victim’s ATM PIN number before murdering him. Police were able to trace the murderers, and the bodies of the victims, through the withdrawal.
| This guys doesn't seem to be whatcha might call a pro. And what kind of alias is "Yanto"? Whatever happened to "Butch" or "Spike"? |
