Police to submit Ghufron's dossier to prosecutors Monday<\/p>\n
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta<\/p>\n
Investigators are expected to submit the dossier of Ali Ghufron
\nalias Mukhlas, one of the key operatives in the Bali terror
\nbombings, to the prosecutor's office Monday as local officials
\nplan to bury body parts of victims killed in the deadly terrorist
\nattacks.<\/p>\n
Ghufron is the elder brother of Amrozi, one of the first
\nsuspects arrested for the Bali bombing, and Ali Imron, the
\nalleged bomb assembler.<\/p>\n
\"We will submit the dossier on Monday,\" Director of Bali
\nPolice Headquarters' Detective and Crime Section Snr. Com. Eddy
\nKusuma Wijaya was quoted by Antara as saying in Bali, Denpasar on
\nSunday.<\/p>\n
The dossier of Ghufron, widely believed to be the western
\nIndonesia regional coordinator of the so-called Jamaah Islamiyah
\n(JI), reportedly replaced Riduan Isammudin, alias Hambali, who is
\none of the most wanted men in Asia and believed to be the overall
\noperational head of JI. Ghufron's is the second case file to be
\ncompleted after police investigators submitted the dossier of
\nAmrozi to the Bali prosecutor's office earlier.<\/p>\n
Ghufron was nabbed in Mohammad Najib's house in Tulung sub-
\ndistrict, Klaten district, Central Java, in December 2002.<\/p>\n
Police have so far arrested 25 suspects. Fifteen dossiers of
\nthose allegedly involved in the blasts that killed almost 200
\npeople and injured some 350 others would soon be handed over,
\nEddy said.<\/p>\n
The 14 suspects, whose dossiers are still being processed,
\nincluded Abdul Azis alias Imam Samudra, alleged mastermind of the
\nbombing and Ali Ghufron, he said.<\/p>\n
Under the government's regulation in lieu of laws No. 1 and
\n2\/2002 on anti-terrorism, Abdul Aziz and Ali Ghufron could be
\ngiven the death penalty, he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Bali provincial officials are planning to bury
\nunclaimed body parts of victims killed in the Bali bombing as
\nsoon as possible.<\/p>\n
\"Based on our coordination meeting with the Bali police
\nforensic team, the body parts can be buried,\" Bali health
\ndepartment head Made Molin Yudiasa was quoted by Detik.com on
\nSunday.<\/p>\n
\"The governor (Dewa Made Beratha) has instructed us to
\ncoordinate with the Denpasar traditional village head on the
\nplanned burial,\" Molin said.<\/p>\n
He said the body parts would be put in plastic bags and
\nproperly numbered for easy identification. \"One plastic bag for
\neach set of parts with the same DNA,\" he said. The bags will then
\nbe placed in coffins for burial.<\/p>\n
According to Molin, the body parts had undergone DNA tests but
\nhad not been claimed by family members.<\/p>\n
He also said that local officials would on Monday notify a
\nnumber of foreign Consulate Generals on the government plan to
\nbury the body parts.<\/p>\n
\"We will wait for their response for one week. If after one
\nweek they don't respond, we will bury them immediately,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Last Thursday, Australian Disaster Victim Identification team
\nhanded over 140 bags of body parts that had not been claimed by
\ntheir families and three unidentified victims to Indonesian
\npolice.<\/p>",
