Two Maluku terror suspects could get firing squad
M. Azis Tunny, The Jakarta Post, Ambon
Ambon prosecutors on Tuesday asked for death sentences for two Muslim militants
accused of plotting a February 2004 attack on a karaoke bar in which two people
were killed.
Prosecutors told the Ambon District Court that Idi Amin Tabrani Pattimura,
alias Ongen Pattimura, and Fatur Datu Armen should face the death penalty for
masterminding the Feb. 14 attack on the Villa karaoke bar in Hative Besar
village, Teluk Ambong Baguala district.
The pair have been charged under the 2003 Law on Terrorism.
Prosecutors said Ongen and Fatur led a group armed with six weapons, including
three M-16 rifles.
"The weapons used to belong to the hard-line Laskar Jihad group," a prosecutor,
Nunik Triyana, said.
Members of the group police accuse of carrying out the attack are Ismail
Yamsehu, Syarif Tarabubun, Ridwan Lestaluhu, Ancu Pary, Nachrum Wailissahalong,
Samsul Bahri Sangadji, Muthalib Patty, Thaha Assagaf, La Udin, La Ode Rusdi,
Rusli Amiluddin and Mitho.
Police formally charged some of these men in earlier trials, Nunik said.
The two victims in the karaoke bar attack -- Siti Ratnawaty and Yondry Patiruhu
-- were both shot in the head, Nunik said. After the attack, the group's
weapons were hidden at the State Institute for Islamic Studies in Ambon.
"(Ongen and Fatur) planned acts of terrorism to spread fear among the public,
kill people and to destroy public property," Ridwan Massry, another prosecutor,
said at Fatur's trial.
Ongen, a resident of Batumerah in Ambon, is a father of four who comes from
Latu village in Western Seram regency. A former political science student at
the State Institute for Islamic Studies, he owns a cafe at Batumerah and once
stood as a legislative candidate for the Prosperous Justice Party in the 2004
general election.
Fatur, from Makassar, South Sulawesi, came to Ambon as a member of the Laskar
Jundullah and Wahdah Islamiyah militant groups. He later married a local woman,
and lived in Ambon as a fuel seller.
Known locally as a religious teacher, police also believe he has information
about another attack on a Lokki Police Mobile Brigade (Brimob) post in May 16
last year. Six people died in that attack, including five police officers.
The trial of the two suspects was heavily guarded, with a truck of Brimob
police officers escorting the pair to and from the court. Twenty more policemen
in riot gear also stood guard at the court's entrance gate.
Tensions were high during the trial, with at least 100 people, who claimed to
be members of the suspects' families, staging a noisy rally outside the
courthouse. When the group heard the prosecutors had demanded death sentences
for Ongen and Fatur, some became hysterical and several women fainted.
Sity Wakano, Ongen's aunt, said she believed the trial was politically
motivated. "This is not fair. Why haven't the masterminds of the Jan. 19, 1999,
case, which led to a riot in Maluku, been arrested and sentenced? What about
those who incited the arson of the Maluku governor's office and the legislative
building; why haven't they also been caught and put on trial?"
In a separate trial, another militant, Asep Jaja, is also facing the death
penalty for his alleged involvement in two attacks -- one at Wamsisi village
and another on the Lokki Brimob post.
