Trial of bombing suspects begins<\/p>\n
BANDUNG: The separate trials of the two main suspects in a
\nChristmas Eve bombing here began at the Bandung District Court on
\nThursday.<\/p>\n
The defendants, Aceng Suhari and Iqbal, have been charged with
\nviolating Emergency Law No. 12\/1951, which carries a maximum
\nsentence of death, and Article 188 of the Criminal Code, which
\ncarries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.<\/p>\n
Eleven other suspects, including Agus Kurniawan and Milliard,
\nare on trial for their allegedly involvement in the bombing. The
\nsuspects were arrested after a bomb exploded in their welding
\nshop on Jl. Terusan Antapani on Dec. 24, 2000.<\/p>\n
Similar charges also have been filed against Ayat Hidayat,
\nEffendi, Abdul Hadi, Piping Nitidimaja, Nana Suryana, Karso Abdul
\nFatih, Maman Kamudin, Nana Hamdani and Otang.<\/p>\n
Aceng's trial is being presided over by judge Hazli Saleh,
\nwhile Iqbal's trial is being presided over by judges Sudrajat and
\nSamiun Yahya.<\/p>\n
Both trials were adjourned for two weeks, at which time the
\ndefenses will deliver their statements. Lawyers from Bandung's
\nLegal Aid Foundation are leading the defenses for both suspects.
