| 2002-11-12 |
| The key suspect in the Bali bombing on Oct. 12, Amrozi, told the police on Tuesday that Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir did not take part in a meeting in Surakarta, Central Java to discuss plans for the attack. "Amrozi did not name the founder of the Indonesian Mujahidin Council (MMI) (Bashir) as attending the meeting in Surakarta to prepare for the Bali bombings," Insp. Gen. Made Mangku Pastika, head of the joint Bali bombing investigative team, said as quoted by Antara. He said Amrozi, 40, had only admitted to having a close relationship with Bashir. "Yes! YES! He vass my BOYFRIEND!" Amrozi said apart from having a teacher-student relationship with Ba'asyir during their stay in Malaysia, he had often invited Ba'asyir to give religious lectures at the Al-Islam boarding school in Lamongan, East Java. He's a particular expert on the Koranic verses covering detonators... Besides holding a meeting in Surakarta, Amrozi and his accomplices also met in Bali before and after the blasts. Made said the police had found bomb residue at the meeting places, indicating that the bombs had been assembled in Denpasar. |
