Alleged Indonesian militant sentenced to jail for harboring terror leader
 Indonesia sentenced an alleged Islamic militant to 3 1/2 years in prison on Monday for sheltering the reputed head of the al-Qaida linked terror group Jemaah Islamiyah in his home. Faturahman, who goes by a single name, was found guilty of violating the country's anti-terror law by harboring Noordin Top in central Java in 2004, judges at the South Jakarta District Court ruled. "The defendant did not report to authorities even though he knew that Noordin was a fugitive," said presiding Judge Toedarmadji. Lawyers for Faturahman were not immediately available for comment.Posted by: Fred 2006-07-25 |
