Terror suspect worried about children

DENPASAR, Bali: Ali Gufron alias Mukhlas, the main suspect in
the terrorist bomb attacks in Legian, wants all his children to
be brought to Solokuro village in Lamongan, East Java.

M. Sya'af, Mukhlas' lawyer, said that Ali Gufron's five
children were being taken care of by his friend in Klaten, where
Mukhlas was arrested.

Mukhlas, who is believed by the intelligence services to have
replaced Hambali as the coordinator of Jemaah Islamiyah for
Southeast Asia, was concerned about the education of his
children, aged between 3 and 11.

Sya'af added that his client had asked police to bring the
children to the house of Qosim and Djafar Sodik, who are ustad (
religious teachers) in Solokuro village.

Qosim and Djafar Sodik are brothers of Mukhlas and run the Al-
Islam boarding house in Lamongan. - Antara
