| Indonesia sentences JI leader |
| 2004-02-25 |
| An Indonesian court has sentenced an Islamic leader to three and a half years in prison for involvement in acts of terrorism. Abu Rusdan was found guilty of hiding one of the men who carried out the Bali bombing in 2002. Abu Rusdan was also believed to have been a caretaker leader of militant Islamic group Jemaah Islamiyah. Caretaker leader? Does he just dust the furniture and make sure the grass is cut and the doors are locked at night? The group has been blamed for attacks including the Bali bombing in 2002, but is not an illegal organisation. |
