Verdict expected in trial of militant accused in 2005 Bali
bombings
DENPASAR (AP): an Indonesian court was scheduled Thursday to deliver its verdict
against an Islamic militant accused of involvement in 2005 restaurant bombings on
Indonesia's resort island of Bali.
Three other terrorists have already been sentenced to between 8 and 18 years in the
triple suicide blasts, which killed 20 people and injured more than 100 others.
Anif Solcahnudin is accused of taking part in the planning of the attacks.
Solcahnudin, 24, told an earlier session of his trial that he offered to be one of the
suicide bombers, but was turned down.
The blasts were the latest in yearly attacks against Western targets in Indonesia
since 2002, when militants blew up two nightclubs on Bali, killing 202 people, most of
them foreign tourists.
Indonesian police blame fugitive Malaysian Noordin Mohammad Top for
masterminding all the attacks. (**)
