Sentences Cut for Some Tied to Bali Bombings
From Times Wire Reports
At least nine Islamic militants jailed for the 2002 Bali bombings got four-month reductions in their sentences to mark Indonesia’s independence day, a Justice Ministry official said.
They played relatively minor roles in the suicide bombings, including carrying out robberies to finance the attacks and helping shelter suspects.
The sentence reductions could anger countries that lost citizens in the twin nightclub attacks that killed 202 people, many of them foreign tourists.
