Indonesian court jail six for involvement in terrorism

An Indonesian court has jailed six men for up to nine years for their involvement in a terror cell known as Al Qaeda in Aceh. The group was allegedly training to carry out Mumbai-style attacks by small groups of suicide gunmen on Western targets and political figures in the capital Jakarta. Chief judge Mutarto told the West Jakarta district court that Oman Rohman, 38, received nine years' jail for providing 2,320 dollars to pay to the alleged mastermind of the 2002 Bali bombings for the group's military-style training in the jungles of western Aceh province. The Bali bombings claimed the lives of 202 people. In a separate trial, the court sentenced five men to seven to eight years' prison for attending the cell's training camp and possessing illegal firearms.
