Sofjan back home<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Businessman Sofjan Wanandi returned from an
\noverseas business trip Saturday declaring his readiness to answer
\na police summons tomorrow in connection with an ongoing
\ninvestigation into last month's bomb-making activities here.<\/p>\n
Sofjan told The Jakarta Post by telephone yesterday that he
\nflew back to Jakarta on a Singapore Airlines flight after
\nattending routine corporate meetings in Brisbane and Melbourne,
\nand another in Singapore.<\/p>\n
\"I would be ready to clarify everything for the police
\ntomorrow.\"<\/p>\n
Sofjan was questioned by the military last month in connection
\nwith bomb-making activities allegedly conducted by the outlawed
\nDemocratic People's Party (PRD). He has denied any link with PRD.<\/p>\n
The chairman of the diverse Gemala Group was mentioned as a
\npotential financier in one of the documents found in the Jakarta
\napartment where the homemade bomb exploded on Jan. 18.<\/p>\n
Sofjan drew criticism from the military when he left for
\nAustralia more than one week ago.<\/p>\n
\"I am very disappointed that I was accused of fleeing the
\ncountry,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, some 1,000 Jakarta Moslems gathered at Al Azhar
\nGrand Mosque to hear their leaders' fiery speeches against groups
\nthey called \"traitors of the nation.\"<\/p>\n
In the monthly gathering organized by the Indonesian Committee
\nfor World Moslems Solidarity (KISDI), ulema condemned certain
\ngroups in society who have helped bring about the economic
\ncrisis.<\/p>\n
KISDI executive A. Sumargono said the group called on the
\nauthorities to investigate Sofjan thoroughly. (byg\/aan\/swe)<\/p>",
