Sjafrie threatens to sue ICG<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: The Indonesian Military (TNI) spokesman Maj. Gen.
\nSjafrie Sjamsoeddin will file a suit against the International
\nCrisis Group (ICG) should it fail to revise its latest report on
\nJamaah Islamiah's operations in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
\"The report could cause public misinterpretation as it links
\nme to one of the Jamaah Islamiah members, Fauzi Hasbi of Aceh
\nprovince. It even said that I still maintain regular
\ncommunication with him.<\/p>\n
\"The report is incorrect. My first acquaintance with Fauzi was
\nin 1977 when he, a former member of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM),
\nsurrendered to the armed forces.<\/p>\n
\"I never met him again until two years ago -- after almost 23
\nyears later -- he met me in connection with his writing a book
\nabout GAM leader Hassan Tiro,\" Sjafrie said.<\/p>\n
According to Sjafrie, he will take legal action against ICG if
\nit failed to revise the report by Friday.<\/p>\n
Based on the ICG's press release, it said that the report had
\nnot in any way accused Sjafrie of being involved in JI. The
\nrelease also said that such a distortion had arisen from a
\nmisquoting of the report. \"We invite the Indonesian public to
\nread our report thoroughly.\" --JP<\/p>",
