JAKARTA, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- A suspected Indonesian militant faced his terror trial here Tuesday with the charge of training the military wing of shadowy terror group Jemaah Islamiyah.

    Suparjo, the defendant, admitted that he was an instructor who trained the group's followers how to use M-16 assault riffles at secret places, including in northern Javanese coasts and mountainous areas in Central Java.

    Asked by the judge if he held any license for arms possession, he replied "my license comes from Allah."

    He also said the training was held just in case of any threats from Islam's enemies, but didn't elaborate.

    "We are preparing ourselves. Should there be enemies, we would fight them. But I certainly hope there isn't any," he told the Central Jakarta District Court.

    "If given a chance, we also want to learn how to drive a plane," he said.
