| Brother wipes Amrozi’s smile |
| 2003-06-04 |
| Bali: THE air was icy when Ali Imron was unexpectedly called to the witness box to testify against his older brother Amrozi at his terrorism trial yesterday. The smiling bomber watched with increasing agitation as his brother detailed how he and Amrozi attended a planning meeting two months before the Bali bombing, at which tasks were assigned to each person. Asked to respond to Imron's claims, Amrozi was at odds with his brother. He denied the meeting had anything to do with the Bali bombing, sarcastically commenting that his brother was often "sleepy" and hence would not know what was discussed. He was "Sleepy" and Amrozi was "Dopey" "I want to say that my brother has habits — if he was at the meeting, driving a car or riding a motorcycle he is always sleepy," Amrozi said. Imron snapped back that he was not sleepy when he witnessed alleged Bali bombing field commander Imam Samudra order his brother to buy chemicals to make a bomb. Ouch! Whatever happened to the love and loyalty of the Islamic boomer family? |

| #3 Ali Imron, the Narcoleptic Terrorist. I see a "work accident" in the making here. |

| #2 "Oh wait...I remember now...I had been drinking a lot of iced tea waiting for that meeting to start, and I had to go see a man about a horse at that particular moment. (Yeah, that's the ticket! Worked for Al, right?) Or was that the meeting with the Buddhist monks? |

| #1 Ahhh..yes.. the old "habit of being sleepy" method of discrediting witnesses. I believe that was from an old episode of Perry Mason... |
