Surabaya – An activist of the Tanwir Mosque, Adi Suryana, who happened to be a resident of Asemrowo village, North Surabaya, was abducted on Friday by an anti-terror team from the National Police Headquarters.

"When the abductee and his son, Mahi [10], were heading to the mosque for morning prayers, policemen in plainclothes jumped out of a Kijang van to intercept him. Adi Suryana was then instructed to get into the van, thus leaving his son in big confusion," a member of the Moslem Front Defending Lawyers' Team, Fachmi H Bachmid SH, said here.

Suryana's whereabouts after being kidnapped was still a mystery.
