JAKARTA, June 14 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia will monitor the newly freed Muslim militant cleric Abu Bakar Ba'ashir, when he gave sermon, police spokesman said Wednesday.

    "Ba'ashir, his sermon will be monitored," said spokesman Anton Bachrul Alam.

    He said that the control would be conducted through the communities, such as the head of the area.

    However, he rejected that the police would send spy to supervise the cleric.

    Indonesian Security Chief Minister Widodo Adi Sucipto has said that the authorities may take a certain move on Ba'ashir for security reason.

    The 68-year-old cleric was released Wednesday morning after spending 26 months in jail for a conspiracy in the Bali bombings in 2002, which killed more than 200 people, mostly Australian holiday makers.

    He is seen by the West as the spiritual head of the Jemaah Islamiah (JI) regional militant network.

    Indonesian Minister of Justice and Human Right Hamid Awaluddin has said that so far there was no any party that was concerned on the release of the cleric, who had got amnesty several times. Enditem
