| 2005-09-17 |
| Three persons allegedly involved in a string of explosions in Yogyakarta, Central Java five years ago, including an attack on the Gede mosque, have gone on trial. During the first court session, the defendants were charged with plotting and executing the bombings and violating the state emergency law, which carries a maximum sentence of death. The three defendants are Syaifulloh, alias Wahyu Diarto, thought to be the man behind a post office bombing, Taufiqurrochman, suspected of bombing the Gede Mosque, and Suhardi, who funded and plotted the bombings. The trial was adjourned until next week to hear pleas from the defendants' lawyers. |
