Indonesian team interviewing detained students in Pakistan
Indonesian investigators have arrived in Pakistan to begin interviewing six Indonesian students detained on suspicion of links to the Jemaah Islamiah extremist group. The four Indonesian officials, representing their countryâs police force, foreign ministry and intelligence agency, are meeting with the students - including Rusman Gunawan, the brother of top terror operative Hambali - at a secret location in Karachi."Honey, Iâm going TDY to Karachi. Can you pack a change of clothes and my travel interview kit for me? Itâs the one with the folding truncheons." Pakistani intelligence officials believe the 19 students are a sleeper cell of JI, the South East Asian terror network blamed for a string of deadly bombings in Indonesia including last Octoberâs Bali bombings, which killed 202 people. More like a grad school cell. Interrogators hope the group will shed light on the extent of JIâs presence in Pakistan and whether the outfit was planning attacks in the country. Ummm, doubtful, they would have kept a low profile while in school, I think. Unless they were planning field trips, of course. Posted by: Steve 2003-10-01 |
