PEKANBARU, Riau: Terror suspect Slamet bin Kastari, a
Singaporean, suffered a fractured leg after he jumped out a
window while trying to escape from police custody, police said on
Saturday.
"He was trying to escape while he was being questioned by
police detectives. He jumped from the window, but unfortunately
he fell and fractured his leg," Riau provincial police chief
Brig. Gen. Deddy Komaruddin said.
Slamet was once accused of being member of regional terror
network Jama'ah Islamiyah and was sentenced to two years in jail
by a district court here for falsifying documents. He is now
being questioned as a witness in several bombing cases.
Slamet will complete his sentence in August this year. -- JP
