Terrorist jailed for 10 years for hotel bombing

An Indonesian court today sentenced a Muslim militant to 10 years in jail for helping plan last year’s Marriott Hotel bombing in Jakarta, but acquitted him of involvement in the 2002 Bali attacks.

The court in Jakarta ruled that Jhoni Hendrawan, alias Idris, could not be prosecuted over the Bali case, in which 202 people died, because of a ruling last month by the country’s Constitutional Court.
