Farouk Arnaz – The National Police on Friday backtracked on earlier comments that a member of the Ahmadiyah sect had been named a suspect for his alleged role in the religious violence in Banten.

Brig. Gen. Agung Sabar Santoso, the National Police's director of general crimes, has previously stated that Deden Sujana, an Ahmadi left critically injured in the bloody attack that left three other sect members dead, had been named a suspect.

Deden is allegedly seen in a video circulating on the Internet of the attack, where 1,500 villagers descend on a house in Cikeusik subdistrict, asking a police officer to let the assault take place.

Speaking on Friday, however, National Police spokesman Chief Comr. Boy Rafly Amar said that no Ahmadiyah follower had been named a suspect in relation to the deadly assault.
