Two leaders of suspected Bali bomb group sentenced to 15 years

Self-proclaimed Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) leaders Abu Dujana and Zarkasih 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.
