JAKARTA,Sept. 16 (Xinhuanet) -- Indonesia's Attorney General's Office (AGO)
said here Tuesday that it could not freeze the seven bank accounts allegedly
owned by terrorists as the United Nations requested.
Freezing bank accounts is the right of the police, said AGO spokesman
Antasari Azhar. The Attorney General office received a letter from the United
Nations on Sept. 9, requesting the Attorney General to freeze assets and bank
accounts allegedly owned by terrorists.
"We have replied the letter that freezing (the bank accounts) is the right
of investigator (police)," Antasari was quoted by Detikcom online news service
as saying.
Under a United Nations Security Council resolution, all UN member countries must
freeze assets and accounts of all groups and individuals listed with the UN
Counter Terrorism Committee. Enditem
