State prosecutors to return Amrozi's file to police<\/p>\n
Agencies, Jakarta<\/p>\n
Head of the Bali prosecutor's office I Ketut Yona said on Monday
\nthat he would return the case file on key Bali bombing suspect
\nAmrozi to the police so that they could add further details to
\nit.<\/p>\n
\"The file, which was submitted to us on Jan. 6, is currently
\nbeing studied. But we can already see that there are matters that
\nstill need to be added to by the police,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Yona declined to say what police needed to do or when the file
\nwould be returned, but he said the three-volume, 1,623-page file
\nwould be returned by Jan. 19 at the latest.<\/p>\n
\"We have already coordinated this with the police and they are
\nbeginning to work on completing the file,\" he told AFP.<\/p>\n
On Friday, State Intelligence Agency (BIN) spokesman Muchyar
\nYara said that Amrozi's dossier should be returned to the police
\nas it mentioned ammonium nitrate, which he said was not found at
\nthe blast site.<\/p>\n
Police say Amrozi has admitted to buying a van and chemicals,
\nincluding ammonium nitrate, to help make the bomb, and then
\ntransporting them to Bali.<\/p>\n
Police have said they want to put the suspects on trial as
\nearly as next month. They could face the death penalty if charged
\nunder the new antiterrorist regulation passed in the wake of the
\nbombings that killed more than 190 people on Oct. 12.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors have said they have 14 days to study the file.
\nUnder the law, if prosecutors are satisfied with the evidential
\nfile, they prepare charges which are then brought before the
\ncourt.<\/p>\n
Amrozi was the first suspect arrested after a car bomb ripped
\nthrough the Kuta tourist strip in Bali. The bombings badly hit
\nthe island's tourism-dependent economy.<\/p>\n
Fifteen people have been arrested for the bomb attacks, while
\n11 more, among them two Malaysians, are still being sought.<\/p>\n
Key suspects in custody are Amrozi's elder brother Mukhlas,
\nthe alleged controller of the Bali attacks, and Imam Samudra,
\nwhom police say was the field coordinator.<\/p>\n
They allege Mukhlas is the operations chief of the Jamaah
\nIslamiyah regional terror network, which has been linked to the
\nBali blasts.<\/p>\n
Sr. Comr. Zaenuri Lubis, a spokesman for the joint inquiry
\nteam, said the police would present the file on Samudra, the
\nalleged mastermind behind the attacks, to prosecutors on Friday.<\/p>\n
They had earlier said Samudra's file would be submitted to
\nprosecutors on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\"The investigations (into Samudra) have been completed,
\nincluding inserting data from his laptop into the file,\" Zaenuri
\nwas quoted by Antara as saying.<\/p>",
