Prosecutors argue Indonesia's Bashir knew of bombs |
2005-02-23 |
![]() Bashir is charged with criminal acts of arson and explosion in relation to the Bali blasts and with "evil conspiracy" under Indonesia's anti-terror laws over the Marriott bombing. The white-bearded cleric has repeatedly denied the charges, which he says resulted from Western pressure. Prosecutors had earlier cited a lack of evidence when they dropped a charge that Bashir had incited terror attacks as the leader of the militant, al Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiah (JI) network in Southeast Asia. |
