Fijileaks: Fiji Law Society President William Wylie Clark is yet to respond to questions from us as to why the Law Society has not spoken out on the 1987 bombing allegations and the call for Khaiyum to RESIGN

Aris Sumarsono was listed on 16 May 2005 pursuant to paragraphs of 1 and 16 of UN Resolution 1526 (2004) as being associated with Al-Qaida, Usama bin Laden or the Taliban for “participating in the financing, planning, facilitating, preparing or perpetrating of acts or activities by, in conjunction with, under the name of, on behalf, or in support of” Jemaah Islamiyah - UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL

  • The biologist was arrested in a raid at a house in East Lampung district on Sumatra island. Since May 2005, Zulkarnaen has been listed on an al-Qaeda sanctions list by the UN Security Council for being associated with Osama bin Laden or the Taliban. The Security Council said that Zulkarnaen was one of al-Qaeda’s representatives in Southeast Asia and one of the few people in Indonesia who had direct contact with bin Laden’s network. It said that Zulkarnaen led a squad of fighters known as the Laskar Khos, or Special Force, whose members were recruited from among some 300 Indonesians who trained in Afghanistan and the Philippines

In accordance with paragraph 13 of resolution 1822 (2008) and subsequent related resolutions, the ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee makes accessible a narrative summary of reasons for the listing for individuals, groups, undertakings and entities included in the ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida Sanctions List.

Date on which the narrative summary became available on the Committee's website: 26 August 2009Date(s) on which the narrative summary was updated: 17 April 2019

Reason for listing: Aris Sumarsono was listed on 16 May 2005 pursuant to paragraphs of 1 and 16 of Resolution 1526 (2004) as being associated with Al-Qaida, Usama bin Laden or the Taliban for “participating in the financing, planning, facilitating, preparing or perpetrating of acts or activities by, in conjunction with, under the name of, on behalf, or in support of” Jemaah Islamiyah (QDe.092).

Additional information: Aris Sumarsono (a.k.a. Zulkarnaen) has been a key member of Jemaah Islamiyah’s (JI) (QDe.092) central command and the head of its military section. Zulkarnaen became operations chief for Jemaah Islamiyah after the arrest of his predecessor, Nurjaman Riduan Isamuddin (QDi.087), also known as Hambali, in Thailand in August 2003. As military commander, Zulkarnaen has been responsible for intelligence operations and military training, and authorized to launch terrorist attacks.

Zulkarnaen earned a degree in biology from an Indonesian university and was among the first Indonesian militants to go to Afghanistan for training. He became an expert in sabotage in the 1980s, when he was appointed the head of Camp Saddah, a military academy established for fighters from Southeast Asia. Zulkarnaen spent a decade at the camp training other JI members.

Zulkarnaen headed the operations section of JI, which helped carry out the suicide bombing at Jakarta’s Marriott Hotel that killed 12 people in 2003 and helped to prepare the bombs that killed 202 people in Bali in 2002.

Zulkarnaen was one of Al-Qaida’s (QDe.004) representatives in Southeast Asia and one of the few people in Indonesia who had had direct contact with Usama bin Laden’s (deceased) network. Zulkarnaen has led a squad of fighters known as the Laskar Khos, or “special force,” whose members were recruited from some 300 Indonesians who trained in Afghanistan and the Philippines.

Zulkarnaen was a protégé of the late Abdullah Sungkar, founder of both Jemaah Islamiyah and the boarding school, Al-Mukmin, where Zulkarnaen and other group leaders studied. Before Sungkar’s death in 1999, Zulkarnaen was often seen by his mentor’s side, helping to organize conferences and arrange the agenda of the elder leader.

When will Fiji Flaw Society ever do this, because sadly it's not happening with Khaiyum continuously ruining the country having no sense of direction but debts that will take years to be cleared out.
