----- Original Message ----- From: Jusfiq Hadjar To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2007 6:22 PM Subject: [proletar] SMH: Accused JI mastermind on trial for his life Accused JI mastermind on trial for his life December 18, 2007 JAKARTA: The confessed head of the South-East Asian militant group Jemaah Islamiah went on trial in Indonesia yesterday, as the battle against the group blamed for a string of deadly attacks resumed in court. Zarkasih was arrested in June after operations involving the country's anti-terrorist unit, Detachment 88, which also netted the movement's alleged military chief, Abu Dujana. The arrests were regarded as a major blow for JI, the group blamed for the 2002 Bali bombings in which 202 people were killed, as well as many other attacks in Indonesia. Zarkasih, who is known by one name, was charged under anti-terrorism laws, which means he could face the death penalty, but authorities have not yet laid out the charges. Police alleged Zarkasih oversaw the movement of arms within JI. They said he was also involved in the group's operations in Poso, an area on the island of Sulawesi torn by Muslim-Christian fighting which killed about 2000 people between 1999 and 2001. At a news conference after his arrest, police showed a video testimony in which the bespectacled Zarkasih said he was the acting head of JI. Police said he had received military training in Afghanistan and had been an instructor at a militant training camp in the southern Philippines. Dujana went on trial last week on charges of keeping explosives and sheltering fugitives wanted for deadly attacks. Under Indonesian law he did not need to enter a plea at the start of the trial, but Dujana said he was a victim of injustice. The cleric Abu Bakar Bashir, who has been accused of being the spiritual leader of JI, was jailed for 30 months for the 2002 Bali bombings but was later cleared. ■ An Indonesian court yesterday ruled that it had authority to hear a case filed by the National Logistics Agency against Tommy Soeharto, the youngest son of the former president, over a land scam. The agency has accused the firm Goro Batara Sakti and its former office-bearer Soeharto of causing losses to the state in a land exchange deal and is seeking $64 million in "material and immaterial" damages.
