| Bali bomb suspect says his laptop engineered by Indonesian police |
| 2003-01-08 |
| Tempo Imam Samudra aka Abdul Azis, the main suspect in the Bali bombing case, suspects that the content of his laptop has been engineered and has therefore refused to sign the investigation report on his laptop. "Framed! I been framed! All I had on there was some dirty pictures!" âAbdul Azis has denied 75 percent of the report and he did not know how the data mentioned in the report could appear in his laptop,â said Samudraâs lawyer Qadhar Faisal following his meeting with Samudra at Bali police headquarters in Denpasar on Tuesday. Among the files denied by Samudra are pictures of the alleged leader of Jamaah Islamiyah organization Abu Bakar Baâasyir [Bashir], National Police chief Gen. Daâi Bachtiar and Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. âSamudra said,â Why would I put such pictures there? This has been made up,â reported Faisal, who verified that the number of files in Samuraâs laptop amounted to 9,000. Who knows? I have a couple pictures of my wife on my laptop... The Bali bombing investigation team opened Samudraâs laptop on Sunday. A member of the team said that the laptop contained 9,000 long files and 1,000 short files in Indonesian and Arabic languages. Most of the files are about activities and correspondence carried out by Imam Samudra during the past three years. According this police source, it requires 16 days to open 9,000 files. Therefore, the police only print the important ones, including the files on Samudraâs correspondence, to find out the network of Samudra and his friends. That's 562 and a half files a day. I'd guess they're scanning them all, copying the ones they want to research further, and that probably some — the juicier ones — are password-protected. |
