Southeast Asia
Court sentences man to 12 years for aiding terrorists
2006-11-30
An Indonesian court on Wednesday sentenced an Islamic militant to 12 years in prison for providing a gun to the aide of a leading member of a Southeast Asian terrorist network. Joko Wibowo, alias Abu Sayaf, was convicted by a regional court in Central Java of violating anti-terror laws for giving a semiautomatic pistol to a member of Jemaah Islamiyah that was used for military training.

The three-member panel of judges said Joko gave the revolver and 20 bullets to Subur Sugiarto, a main aide to Noordin M. Top, a Malaysian fugitive accused of being a key leader of the group. "The defendant has been proven guilty of violating the anti-terror law," presiding Judge Boedi Hartono said at the ruling. Hewas also convicted of illegal possession of a firearm.
