FPI chairman placed under house arrest: Chairman of the Islam
Defenders Front (FPI) Habib Rizieq Shihab left the Metro Jaya
police detention center last night after he was placed under
house arrest. Briefing the press after his release at 10:10
p.m., Rizieq said that he would evaluate his organization
thoroughly. "What is important is that I'm out of the detention
center now. We will evaluate (the organization) over Ramadhan,
including its members," a clearly relieved Rizieq said. Rizieq
was detained on Oct. 16 for allegedly inciting his followers to
destroy a number of entertainment centers in Jakarta.
