| Indonesia's deradicalization program under fire |
| 2010-06-24 |
| Not long ago, Abdullah Sunata was a poster child for Indonesia's efforts to persuade jailed terrorists to give up their violent ways. He was given furloughs to attend lawn parties and police helped pay for mounting hospital bills when his wife gave birth. But immediately after his release on good behavior one year ago, Sunata allegedly returned to his old ways, catapulting to the top of the country's most-wanted list. He was arrested Wednesday for suspected involvement in a plot to carry out a Mumbai-style attack in the capital, Jakarta, and several high-profile assassinations, including one on President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. |
