                    [Title] => Indonesian bomber will not be released — Ople
                    [Summary] => An Indonesian terrorist convicted in the country for illegal possession of explosives will not be released by the Philippine government even on orders of Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri, Foreign Affairs Secretary Blas Ople said yesterday.


Ople was referring to Angus Dwikarna, whose release was sought recently by politicians and members of President Arroyo’s Cabinet for the sake of maintaining good relations with Indonesia.


Ople denied the reports implying that he was one of the Cabinet officials working for Dwikarna’s release.

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."

                    [Summary] => Two top police intelligence officials opposed yesterday an alleged presidential adviser’s proposal to hand over a suspected Indonesian terrorist, convicted in July for trying to smuggle explosives, to Indonesia.


A government source told The STAR that Presidential Adviser for Special Concerns Norberto Gonzales advised President Arroyo that Agus Dwikarna be handed over to Jakarta to improve bilateral relations.


The recommendation came amid strong opposition from key security advisers, Justice Secretary Hernando Perez and National Security Adviser Roilo Golez.

                    [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.
