Indonesia says it can't ban JI as it has never recognised it
JAKARTA: Indonesian Vice President Yusuf Kalla said on Sunday the government cannot ban an Islamic militant group blamed for the Bali bombings despite Australia's insistence it do so, because it never recognised it in the first place."If we have never recognised the existence of that organisation, how can we disband it?" Kalla was quoted as saying by the Detikcom online news service.
That makes sense, I guess. Not a lot of sense, but sense. In an Islamic sort of way... |
