Police won't charge militant cleric Abu Bakar Bashir in the 2002 Bali bombings, officials said Wednesday, after Indonesia's constitutional court curbed the use of a tough anti-terror law. Wednesday's announcement is the first sign that the Constitutional Court ruling last Friday on the use of the terror law could hamper efforts to prosecute militants. The court ruled that the law, rushed through parliament in the wake of the Bali bombings, could not be used for crimes committed before it was enacted. |
