The brother of slain terrorist Azahari bin Husin confirmed on Wednesday that the corpse shown to him by police was that of his brother and apologized to his victims and their relatives. Azahari, a Malaysian citizen who had been on the run for three years, was shot dead last week by police during a raid on his hide-out in Batu, East Java. "We have known that ... my elder brother was involved in the bombings. Therefore, on behalf of the family, we apologize to all Indonesian people, especially Balinese, either those who were killed or not," said Azahari's younger brother Bani Yamin bin Husin. "We also apologize to the relatives of the bombing (victims) at the Australian Embassy, as well as the Marriott Hotel, where most of the victims were innocent Indonesian people," Bani was quoted by Associated Press as saying. Earlier in the day, Bani and Azahari's brother-in-law viewed his corpse at a police hospital, where police said they asked the body be bathed and prayed over in accordance with Islamic tradition before it is repatriated to Malaysia on Thursday. They said nothing to reporters as they left the hospital after viewing the corpse. "Since the brother has identified the body, there's no need to conduct DNA tests," said National Police spokesman Brig. Gen. Soenarko, who accompanied Bani when identifying Azahari's body.
