One of the most wanted men in southeast Asia, Omar al Farouq, who is believed to have been a southeast Asia Al-Qaeda leader, was killed in Basra, Iraq, on Monday after clashing with around 200 British troops. He was shot dead after refusing to be arrested. U.S. authorities in Iraq said that they would be waiting for forensic test results before confirming this information.
But his wife, Mira Agustina, an Indonesian woman who lived in Bogor, West Java, still has faith that her husband is alive, despite the fact that the head of the National Intelligence Agency General Syamsir Siregar has confirmed that Farouq was undoubtly killed in Iraq. Syamsir explained that Farouq was able to reach Iraq because he escaped from an Afghanistan jail.
Farouq's wife is living with her two children and her parents. She was very shocked when she received the news, which she first heard from TV journalists who came to her house at 4.00 a.m., and reacted by almost fainting.
Mira said that if her husband has died she would like the Indonesian government to bring his body into Indonesia. Her lawyer could not give her the kind of information she needed and just sent an SMS to her telling her to pray for her husband.
