JAKARTA: Muslim cleric and terror suspect Abu Bakar Ba'asyir
refused to show up on Monday for questioning at National Police
headquarters, claiming that the summons did not address him
directly.

Ba'asyir's lawyer, Achmad Michdan, said the letter was
addressed to the warden of Salemba Penitentiary instead of his
client.

National Police antiterrorism director Brig. Gen. Pranowo
dismissed the claim, saying the letter had been shown to Ba'asyir
by the Salemba warden.

Ba'asyir will complete on Thursday the 18-month term he is
serving for immigration violations and document fraud, but his
implication in terrorist activities may keep him in jail. -- JP
