Jakarta – National intelligence chief Syamsir Siregar said Wednesday he was ready to testify in the Munir murder case.

"If I am required, I am ready to testify in court," he said when asked about the case during a break in a hearing with the information, defense and foreign affairs commission at the House of Representatives.

The National Intelligence Agency (BIN) was implicated in the case when an official fact-finding team found indications of the alleged involvement of intelligence officials in the murder.

Human rights campaigner Munir Thalib was poisoned on Sept. 7, 2004, while flying with Garuda Indonesia to the Netherlands, via Singapore.

Former president director of Garuda, Indra Setiawan, and the secretary to Garuda chief pilot, Rohainil Aini, are currently being tried for the murder.

Former Garuda pilot Pollycarpus Budihari Priyanto, who was acquitted in the murder case, has testified at the trial.
