[Title] => Indon ‘terrorist’ asks high court to reopen case
[Summary] => "What Jemaah Islamiyah?"
An Indonesian convicted in July for trying to smuggle explosives at Ninoy Aquino International Airport has denied any links to Indonesia-based Islamic militants or any terrorist group as alleged by Philippine officials.
"I don’t even know what Jemaah Islamiyah is," Agus Dwikarna, 35, told The STAR in an interview. "I am not the leader of the group. I am not a member of the group."

[Title] => Indon terrorist’s release sought
[Summary] => Presidential Adviser for Special Concerns Norberto Gonzales — after his recent visit to Jakarta — had advised President Arroyo to immediately release an Indonesian terrorist convicted in the Philippines for illegal possession of explosives, a highly reliable source told The STAR yesterday.
The source said Gonzales wanted to free Agus Dwikarna, an Indonesian terrorist with links to the al-Qaeda network and allegedly involved in the Rizal Day bombings in December 2000, because of his affiliation with an influential political party.
