Terror suspect sez Bashir ran JI
A British-born terror suspect told Australian federal police that Indonesian cleric Abu Bakar Bashir was in charge of Southeast Asian terror group Jamaah Islamiyah, a court heard on Monday. Jack Roche, who is on trial here for plotting to blow up the Israeli Embassy in Canberra, told Australian Federal Police that Bashir, who currently is in detention in Indonesia, was in charge of Jamaah Islamiyah. Bashir previously has denied the allegation. "Ultimately, he's the one who makes decisions regarding the structure of JI in Southeast Asia," Roche said in interviews with police, excerpts of which were read in Perth District Court on Monday.Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-05-24 |
