JAKARTA: The National Police will send a team to investigate a
report that a terrorist suspect had been tortured by Surabaya
Police officers, causing serious injuries and depression.

National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Paiman said a team of
police would be sent to Surabaya to question the victim,
Saifudin, and family members as well as several police officers
before determining whether or not the victim was tortured.

"We arrested Saifudin because we believed he concealed
fugitives Azahari bin Husin and Noordin Top for two months last
year. His family reported that he had been beaten up during
detention." --JP
