Bank Indonesia refuses to freeze terrorists' assets Indonesia's central bank has refused to comply with US demands to freeze assets linked to Osama bin Laden, a news report said yesterday. Bank Indonesia Governor Syahril Sabirin said seizing the assets would contravene Indonesian law, the state Antara news agency reported. "Bank Indonesia has no authority to freeze bank accounts," he said. "Bank Indonesia can do it (only) if a banking crime has been committed." Other bank officials have said that authorities must first have evidence that bin Laden was responsible for the attacks on Washington and New York on September 11 before being able to act. The US government has threatened to take action against nations that fail to freeze assets of suspected terrorists. Indonesia, with few financial sector controls to curb endemic corruption, has long been regarded as a haven for money laundering. The country is also the world's most populous Muslim nation and there is growing anti-American sentiment. Yesterday, about 6,000 people rallied outside the US Embassy in Jakarta demanding an end to the US-led assault on Afghanistan. AP smh.com.au Message 16535259
