<snip>
Habib Rizieq Shihab, leader of the radical Islamic Defenders’ Front (FPI), was released from jail on Wednesday (19/11/03) after serving a seven-month sentence for ordering his militant followers to attack Jakarta nightspots.


His wife, child and about 500 cheering supporters were present to greet him as he walked out of Central Jakarta’s Salemba jail, detikcom online news portal reported.


Rizieq told the crowd he would continue his campaign for the imposition of Islamic law and the closure of entertainment venues deemed an affront to Islam.

"I will continue my attacks on corrupt officials who give protection to these places of sin like nightclubs and gambling dens," he was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.
