Dujana to face possible death penalty
2007-06-22
Top Indonesian terror suspect Abu Dujana will face charges of weapons and explosives possession under anti-terror laws that carry a maximum penalty of death, a police spokesmansaid Wednesday. Dujana, arrested June 9 on Indonesia's Java island, has been identified by police as the military head of the Southeast Asian militant network Jemaah Islamiyah. "He will be charged under the anti-terror law over possession of weapons and explosives," said Maj. Insp. Gen. Sisno Adiwinoto.

Sisno said Dujana would also face charges of harboring Malaysian fugitive Noordin Top, wanted for alleged involvement in a series of bomb attacks in Indonesia. Militants linked to Jemaah Islamiyah have been blamed for several bombings in Indonesia - the world's most populous Muslim nation - including the 2002 nightclub attacks on Bali island that killed 202 people, mostly foreign tourists, and three otherbloody strikes against Western targets since then. Sisno did not rule out that Dujana would also face charges over those bombings and the beheadings of three Christian school girls in eastern Indonesia in 2005.
