Court Jails Islamist for Role in Bali Bombings
An Indonesian court sentenced an Islamist militant to eight years in prison yesterday for aiding the alleged mastermind of the suicide bombings that killed 20 people in Bali last year. Abdul Aziz, 30, "committed gross crimes against humanity", according to the judge, including meeting south-east Asia's most-wanted terror suspect, Noordin Top, 10 times.
Noordin is thought to have organised the attack on three restaurants in October, which also injured 200. Aziz was also punished for setting up a website urging Muslims to attack foreigners in Indonesia's capital.
