08 March 2011 By Al-Ikhwah Al-Mujahidun In the reading of indictment by
the JPU (public prosecutor) in the District Court of
South Jakarta, there are a series of charges imposed
on Ustadz Abu Bakar Ba'asyir, including the allegation
of approving and financing the military training in
Aceh. The Amir of the Jama'ah Ansarut
Tauhid (JAT) is also charged with carrying out
provocations to commit terror. According to the JPU, Ustadz Abu
was involved in the planning, physical preparation of
the human resources and collecting money, among others
through Thoyib, Dr. Syarif Usman, Hariyadi Usman,
Abdul Hakim, Uqbah, Afif Abdul Majid, Abdul Haris,
Yudo and Ubaid, in the amount of +Rp. 1,039,500,000.
Such amount of money was used to purchase firearms and
ammunitions and to finance the military training
activities in Aceh. The participants of the military
training also conducted an armed assault against
police officials in the region of Lamkabeu, located
adjacent to the residential settlement, which have
caused casualties and injuries on the police
officials, and committed armed robbery in the Newnet
internet cafe and Bank CIMB Niaga Medan, which caused
the atmosphere of terror or fear. Military
Training The 93-pages indictment mentioned
that Ustadz Abu played his role in the approval of the
military training in Aceh. In February 2009, Joko
Pitono alias Dulmatin expressed to Ubaid his
wish (member of the Shura council of JAT) to
meet with Ustadz Abu. With Umar Burhanudin as the
intermediary, a meeting between Dulmatin and Ustadz
Abu was held in a shop owned by Ali Miftah (not far
from Al-Mukmin Ngruki Islamic Boarding School). Ustadz Abu and Dulmatin, JPU
said, were planning to conduct military training (Tadrib
Ashkari) in Aceh. Ustadz Abu requested Ubaid to
conduct military training in Aceh according to what
was proposed by Dulmatin, by asking Ubaid to discuss
it with Muzayyin alias Mustaqim (Hisbah
Chariman of Central JAT). As a follow-up of the planning of
a military training in Aceh, a meeting between Ustadz
Abu, Muzayyin and Ubaid was held. Ustadz Abu asked for
Muzayyin's opinion, where he then proposed for Abu
Tholut to be involved due to his vast experiences. The
proposal was eventually approved by Ustadz Abu. Two days later, a meeting between
Abu Tholut and Muzayyin was held in the complex of Al-Mukmin
Ngruki Ponpes (traditional Islamic boarding school).
When asked for his readiness to become the accountable
leader of the ashkari training program in
Aceh, Abu Tholut stated his readiness. Abu Tholut then
met Dulmatin at Abdul Hamid's house in Ngruki. March 2009, Ubaid was picked up
by Dulmatin at the Lebak Bulus Terminal where they
later headed for Warsito's residence in Ciputat to
discuss about the survey of the training site in Aceh
and the needed funds i.e. around Rp. 15 millions. The
next day, Dulmatin, Ubaid and Abu Tholut talked about
the plan for the survey of the military training site
in Aceh. Abu Tholut requested Ubaid to meet Ustadz Abu
to ask for the funding of the survey in Aceh. In Ngruki, Ubaid met Ustadz Abu
to convey the message from Dulmatin who requested a
financial support of Rp. 15 millions, in accordance
with the result of the meeting between Ubaid, Abu
Tholut and Dulmatin in Ciputat. Consequently, Ustadz
Abu agreed for the survey of the military training
site in Aceh to be done by giving money in the sum of
Rp. 5,000,000, and then asked Ubaid to meet Joko
Daryono alias Thoyib (Treasurer of Central JAT) in
Surakarta to ask for additional funds amounting to Rp.
10,000,000. The money was brought by Ubaid to
Jakarta after being picked up by Dulmatin. Next,
Dulmatin requested Abu Tholut to come to the
Soekarno-Hatta Airport. And then the three of them (Dulmatin,
Ubaid and Abu Tholut) departed for Aceh using the Lion
Air aircraft, bringing the Rp.15,000,000. At that
time, Abu Tholut was using the name Ibnu Muhammad,
Ubaid used Luthfi Haidaroh and Dulmatin used the name
Yahya Ibrahim. Upon arriving at the Sultan
Iskandar Muda Airport Banda Aceh, Ubaid, Dulmatin and
Abu Tholut were picked up by Yudi Zulkfahri where they
then headed for the office of Yayasan As-Sofa.
In the afternoon, a meeting chaired by Abu Tholut was
held, attended by Dulmatin, Tengku Marzuki, Ustadz
Kamal, Yudi Zulfahri, Ali Miftah, Ubaid and a few
others. In that meeting, Abu Tholut inquired Yudi
about the condition of Aceh, whether Aceh was suitable
to be made as a jihad arena, which he responded in the
positive. After the meeting, Ubaid along
with Abu Tholut and Dulmatin conducted a survey in the
mountains of Jantho, Aceh Besar, guided by Tengku
Marzuki. In short, the result of the survey was agreed
upon by Abu Tholut. After the survey, Ubaid, Dulmatin
and Abu Tholut returned to Jakarta. Accused of
Incitements In July 2009, Ustadz Abu was
accused of committing instigations or provocations
during a lecture at the house of Alex (alias Asep
alias Ginawan) – Ashkari Leader of JAT for
the Wilayah of North Sumatera - in Stabat,
Langkat Province, North Sumatera. The lecture was
attended by Alex, Khairul Ghazali, Alidian alias Ajo
and dozens other jama'ahs from Medan. The JPU questioned the lecture of
Ustadz Abu who according to them had said that
in conducting jihad,
first, we must have a wilayah
(territory)
no matter how small, where we must have the complete
control over the territory. Therefore, the first step
that we must do is searching for the area or location
that we can use as a base, markaz
or a place of hijrah. Ustadz Abu explained,
if we have found the
place, we can carry out jihad as a whole, where we can
master and control the place. Ustadz Abu also said
that fa'i
(robbery to seek for the funding of the struggle) is
among the justified means in Islam, but before
conducting fa'i,
first, the people have to be killed, so that their
wealth can be acquired. Not merely taking the
properties. This fa'i
is aimed at all the kafir
people, namely the people who are out of Islam and the
rulers or government governments who are Muslim but
are not applying the Islamic
Shari'ah
(thagut).
To acquire the
wilayah of hijrah or Qaidah Aminah
or mahjar
(destination of hijrah),
Ustadz Abu said that it is by conducting surveys to
find a place which enables the performance and
training of the ikhwans
on whom the ‘idad
and tadrib ashkari
(preparation and military exercises) are to be
prepared for the operations of jihad.
Ustadz Abu also said that
the
kafir
who become the enemies of Islam are the people who are
waging war and hostile to Islam openly and patently.
Their characteristic is that they do not want this
country to become a State where the Islamic
Shar'ah
is established. This characteristic is enough reason
for us to fight them (America, Jews and their allies,
Christians and governmental authorities who are Muslim
but not implementing the Shari'ah
of Islam). Comments 💬 التعليقات |
