JAKARTA - The accused of the case of alleged crowding and violations of health protocols (prokes) in Megamendung, Rizieq Shihab, claimed to often get terror while in Saudi Arabia. In fact, it is believed the mastermind behind it was all a high-level intelligence operation.

One of the terrors he experienced was being accused of making fake IDENTITY cards. In fact, he used a visa to stay in Saudi Arabia

"Someone claiming to be a Saudi security officer came to our house and accused us of making a fake IQOMAH that is a kind of ID card of Mecca City," Rizieq said reading a memorandum of defense at the East Jakarta District Court, Thursday, May 20.

Rizieq also claimed to have been arrested by police for no apparent reason. In fact, he was also briefly detained in a Saudi arabian police detention cell for the installation of an ISIS flag.

"I have also been arrested by police in the middle of the street for no apparent reason in the presence of my Wife and daughters, and at the top there is the installation of the Black Flag of ISIS on the outer wall of my residence in the Holy City of Mecca," he said.

"So I was arrested and handcuffed to my feet and blindfolded with a cloth, then held in a Saudi political prison cell in the Holy City of Mecca for a day last night," Rizieq continued.

The latest act of terror is the loss of data on himself and the family of a prospective passenger. Rizieq believes all of these things are the work of intelligence operations because it's impossible for ordinary hackers to do so.

"The systematic and covert removal of my name and family from Saudi's computer systems and flight data base is not the work of ordinary hackers, let alone a buzzer class, but it is all a high-level intelligence operation," he said.
