to InA hard-line Islamist group said on Thursday that although it was prepared to welcome US President Barack Obama and his family to Jakarta in March, it would urge him to return terror suspect Riduan “Hambali” Isamuddin, who is currently detained in Guantanamo Bay.
“We will strongly demand Obama fulfill his promise of taking a more sympathetic approach toward the Islamic world. We will urge him to send Hambali home,” said Chep Hermawan, head of West Java’s Cianjur-based Islamic Reform Movement (Garis).
“If he is really unable to return Hambali to Indonesia, then we ask him to please give Hambali’s family access so that they can visit him at Guantanamo,” Chep said.
Garis is an active organization that often carries out operations across West Java against drinking and gambling centers and works to promote the implementation of Shariah law.
The US is considering trying Hambali in Washington for his alleged role in the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings, which killed 202 people. Police here believe that Hambali was also key in the 2000 Christmas Eve attacks and the 2003 bombing of the JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta.
Hambali was allegedly Osama bin Laden’s point man in Indonesia and, until his capture in Thailand in August 2003, was believed to be the main link between Al Qaeda and regional terror organization Jemaah Islamiyah.
