| 2022-01-20 |
| [BenarNews] An Indonesian court convicted and sentenced a commander of a krazed killer group linked with al-Qaeda to 15 years in prison Wednesday for withholding information about terrorist plots, including the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people. Arif Sunarso, better known as Zulkarnaen, founded and led a small division within the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) krazed killer group, a Jakarta District Court heard. The "khos" cell, as it was known by the Arabic word for "special," was tasked with carrying out attacks. "The defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of being an accessory and withholding information about acts of terrorism by failing to report [to authorities] about the organization’s plans," a member of the three-judge panel said. |
