Dujana to face possible death penalty
JAKARTA (AP): 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. (**)
