JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com — Abu Jibril, the father of M. Jibril who was apprehended last year for suspicion of terrorism, confirmed that Dr. Fauzi is his disciple.
Dr. Fauzi, whose home is often visited by the terrorist suspects from Asem alley, Setia Budi, Pamulang, Tangerang, is a member of Abu Jibril's congregation. The doctor regularly attended Abu Jibril's preachings at the Al Munawaroh mosque, West Pamulang.
"I'm a cleric, a teacher. I have many students, dozens, hudrends, thousands. Dr. Fauzi comes to pray everyday," said Abu Jibril, Tuesday evening at the location of the terrorist raid, at the stores at Puri Pamulang, Tangerang.
He claimed he doesn't know Dr. Fauzi's activities beyond attending his services. "I teach the Koran and the Hadith. Whether my teachings are right or not, please come and see for yourself. But don't accuse me of being a terrorist. I don't know whether he (Dr. Fauzi) did anything against my teachings."
He claimed that Dr. Fauzi came to pray regularly before dawn. But he doesn't remember how long the doctor has been attending his prayer gatherings. "He regularly attended the prayer gatherings."
About the other terrorist suspects, whether the ones shot dead or detained, Abu Jibril stated he didn't know whether they also regularly attended his services or not. (Inggried Dwi Wedhaswary/C17-09)
