Aceh politician's murder unsolved<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: House Speaker Akbar Tandjung on Tuesday criticized
\nthe police for having failed to resolve the January, 2000 murder
\nof an Acehnese politician in Medan, North Sumatra.<\/p>\n
"The police have been working for two years, and nothing has
\ncome out," Akbar told reporters after a meeting with National
\nPolice Chief Da'i Bachtiar.<\/p>\n
Legislator Tengku Nashiruddin Daud of the United Development
\nParty (PPP) was murdered by four men. Da'i said three of the
\nsuspects had fled to Malaysia, and one had died.<\/p>\n
Nashiruddin was deputy chairman of the House's special
\ncommittee investigating past human rights abuses in the restive
\nprovince of Aceh. He was found dead at his hotel in Medan.<\/p>\n
Akbar met Da'i to get a first-hand account of the case, which
\nhe believed would be under scrutiny in the International
\nParliament Union (IPU) meeting in Geneva, Switzerland in January.<\/p>\n
Da'i said that he had sought cooperation with Malaysian police
\nto help locate the suspects. "We will try our best to make the
\nresults public soon," Da'i said. -- JP<\/p>",
