Atrium bomb suspect released<\/p>\n
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta<\/p>\n
Jakarta Police released on Thursday a suspect in the Atrium
\nSenen Plaza bombing, Aznani Lubis, on humanitarian grounds.<\/p>\n
Chief of the Jakarta Police detective Sr. Comr. Adang Rochana
\ntold reporters that he had authorized the release after a request
\nby Aznani's lawyers and relatives.<\/p>\n
\"She has been released from custody but she is still a suspect
\nand has the obligation to report to us twice a week on Mondays
\nand Thursdays,\" Adang said.<\/p>\n
The mother of two children had been detained since Sept. 24,
\none day after the blast at the shopping mall.<\/p>\n
Adang said the police finally granted the request after
\nconsidering that the 31-year-old suspect was a mother and that
\nher children need her.<\/p>\n
\"Another reason is that we have finished questioning her and
\nduring the questioning Aznani was very cooperative with our
\ninvestigators,\" Adang added.<\/p>\n
Police had earlier related the bombing to the Free Aceh
\nMovement as Aznani's husband, Tengku Ismuhadi, was believed to be
\nclose to the organization. Ismuhadi is now serving a life
\nsentence at Cipinang Penitentiary for his role in last year's
\nbombing at the Jakarta Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n
Aznani was named a suspect after police discovered that the
\ncar used in the Atrium blast once belonged to Ismuhadi.<\/p>\n
At the request of her husband from behind bars, Aznani sold
\nthe car to Ramli, who is at large.<\/p>\n
This was the second bomb explosion at Atrium Plaza, after one
\noccurred in August. No fatalities were reported in the two
\nincidents.<\/p>\n
Fourteen members of a jihad group, including three Malaysians,
\nwere detained for their alleged roles in the first Atrium
\nbombing.<\/p>\n
The police have not announce whether the two bombings are
\nrelated.<\/p>\n
According to the police, the first bombing was linked to a
\nseries of church bombings in the capital and other cities around
\nthe country last Christmas Eve.<\/p>",
