| Indonesian court jails man for hiding Bali bomber |
| 2004-02-12 |
| An Indonesian man was sentenced to six years in jail on Thursday for hiding one of the bombers responsible for the blasts that ripped through two Bali nightclubs in October 2002, killing 202 people, a foreign news agency reported. They’re still convicting people, excellent. Hafidin, also known as Munawar, was found guilty of hiding the convicted Bali bombing mastermind, Imam Samudra, who was sentenced to death for his role in the attacks on the Indonesian holiday island. Most of the victims were foreign tourists. ’The defendant has been proven legally and convincingly guilty of carrying out a terror act by hiding the bomber of the Bali bombings, Imam Samudra,’ presiding judge Nurul Hasanah told the district court in Denpasar. ’We are therefore sentencing the defendant to six years in jail.’ Guess the Indonesian’s are serious. Still need to watch and see if they stay in the jug. |

| #1 I think they are really serious . . . Hafiddin becomes the 32nd person to be convicted over the Bali bombings. Other militants have received sentences ranging from three years to death. See link |
