Bomb suspects face nine years in jail

YOGYAKARTA: Prosecutors requested on Tuesday that a court here sentence three men to nine years on charges of a bombing outside the Yogyakarta office of Bank Indonesia on New Year's Eve in 2000.

They told the Yogyakarta District Court that the defendants -- Wahyu Diarto alias Syaifulah, 45, Muhamad Auwal Suhardi, 42, and Taufikqurrahman, 41 -- were guilty of causing the bomb blast on Jan. 1, 2000, which resulted in a pedicab driver having his right leg amputated.

The men had planted the bomb a day earlier before it exploded in front of the Yogyakarta office of the central bank adjacent to the local post office, the prosecution alleged.

They also indicted the defendants of planning a bomb attack on Jan. 22, 2000, inside the Kauman grand mosque, Yogyakarta. The bomb failed to fully go off and only burned a carpet in the mosque.

Presiding judge Widodo adjourned the tightly-guarded trial until next week to hear defense pleas. --Antara
