Another Bali bomber sentenced

A Muslim militant was convicted and sentenced yesterday to life imprisonment for helping to plan the Bali nightclub bombings that killed 202 people, including three New Zealanders.

Sarjiyo, also known as Sawad, was found guilty of helping organise planning meetings and preparing the explosives used in the attacks on October 12, 2002, said Judge Arif Supratman.

"The defendant has shown no remorse. The chemicals he prepared were used to build the bomb that killed hundreds of people and devastated Bali."

Supratman said the defendant had faced a possible death sentence but was given life imprisonment because he was not directly involved in the attack itself.
