Indonesia jails leaders of 'terrorist' JI

An Indonesian court sentenced two leaders of the Jemaah Islamiyah group, blamed for the 2002 Bali bombings, to 15 years' jail yesterday and slammed the Islamist outfit as a "terrorist organisation."
Self-proclaimed Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) leaders Abu Dujana and Zarkasih were sentenced to 15 years each at separate trials in the South Jakarta district court.
Both men were arrested in separate police raids on the island of Java in June last year. They were found guilty of assisting terrorists and possessing, storing and moving weapons destined for terror acts.
The charges under anti-terrorism laws in the world's largest Muslim nation did not relate specifically to the bombings of crowded bars at the resort island of Bali which killed 202 people, including 88 Australians.
