06/01/2005 Passport forger for terror suspect Hambali held in Thailand: police (AFP)
BANGKOK - Thai police have arrested a Bangladeshi man accused of providing top Asian terror suspect Hambali with a fake passport, reports said Thursday. Hoque Sindik, 40, was arrested at a central Bangkok restaurant on charges of providing fake passports to Hambali -- who was captured in Thailand in August 2003 -- as well as to human trafficking gangs, the Nation newspaper said. Police Colonel Chote Kuldilok told the daily the arrested man had confessed to procuring the passport for Hambali in the same year as his capture. Indonesian police allege Hambali is a key member of the Al Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) extremist network. JI is blamed for numerous Indonesian bomb attacks, including the October 2002 Bali bombings which killed 202 people. He has been held in US custody at an undisclosed destination since his capture at Ayutthaya north of Bangkok. Chote said human trafficking gangs had also used fake passports provided by Sindik to smuggle Chinese, Indian and Bangladeshi nationals to third countries via Thailand. The daily said Sindik was charging between 5,000 baht (127 dollars) to 50,000 baht for the fake documents, depending on the level of forging skill required. Police could not immediately be reached for comment. http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticle.asp?xfile=data/theworld/2005/January/theworld_January166.xml§ion=theworld&col= 06/01/2005 Clash at Dmch :JCD demands ban on Shibir politics DU Correspondent Dhaka Medical College (DMC) unit of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD), student wing of the ruling BNP, yesterday demanded immediate ban on politics of Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS), student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami, on the DMC campus. The JCD made the demand at a rally on the DMC campus after the ICS men swooped on them on Tuesday. The incident left some 15 activists of the two organisations injured. JCD leaders warned ICS to oust them from the campus if they try to organise any political activities there. The JCD men pasted posters on the campus that read, 'No ICS politics on the DMC campus'. The clash erupted when some JCD men charged ICS activist Arif for taking his girlfriend to his room in Fazle Rabbi Hall on January 1, sources said. At least 15 activists of the JCD and ICS were injured in the clash. Additional police forces have been deployed on the tension-gripped campus. The DMC authorities have formed a three-member inquiry committee headed by Prof Amzad Hossain of Orthopaedic department to probe the incident. http://thedailystar.net/2005/01/06/d50106012824.htm 06/01/2005 JIC to quizz Hiqma chief again Staff Correspondent, Rajshahi The self-proclaimed Shahadat-e Al Hiqma chief, Sayed Kawsar Hussain Siddiki Raja, was again sent to the Joint Interrogation Cell (JIC) in Dhaka for interrogation yesterday. Investigation officials said Kawsar needs to be questioned further for information about the patrons of his organisation, the only banned Islamist militant outfit of the country. "We're not at all worried about Kawsar or his position. But we're really anxious about the people guiding him," said an investigation official asking not to be named. "Despite being arrested several times, he returned to Al Hiqma activities each time he was released. Moreover, his speeches, sent to the press or found in writing, have certain inconsistencies," the official explained. The JIC earlier interrogated twice, each time for seven days, since his arrest under the section 54 for storming a police station on November 6. Five others who were arrested during the November 6 attack on Boalia Police Station in the city are now out on bail. Sources said another sedition case may be filed against him on completion of the JIC interrogation. http://thedailystar.net/2005/01/06/d50106012622.htm __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
