JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - Indonesian prisons are a weak link in the country's fight against terrorism, with militants often emerging more organized and committed to violence than before they were jailed, a top anti-terror official said Monday.
Gen. Ansyad Mbai made the remarks on the sidelines of a six-nation conference aimed at strengthening cooperation in the fight against terrorism in Southeast Asia.
"The prisoners should be treated specially; they should be split up from one another," Mbai told reporters. "We must not allow them to become united, stronger and more radical while they are in jail."
