RI team to question al-Faruq

JAKARTA: The government finalized a plan to send an investigation team to question Omar Al-Faruq.

Al-Faruq has reportedly said that Indonesian Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir was a major terrorist operative and had his headquarters in the Southeast Asia region.

"The team will leave the country on Sunday at the latest to start the interrogation," Susilo said, adding that the team consists of two policemen and one officer from the National Intelligence Agency (BIN).

"Only after the interrogation can we determine the next step to take and what to do about the allegations made against Abu Bakar Ba'asyir," he said. --JP
