Bali convicts help police investigators

DENPASAR: Three Bali convicts Ali Imron, Utomo Pamungkas and Achmad Roichdan are currently in Jakarta to help investigators track down fugitive terrorist suspects.

Kerobokan prison warden Tulus Widjayanto said on Monday that Ali Imron and Utomo Pamungkas left for Jakarta on April 20, while Achmad was brought to Jakarta on May 30.

"Police (investigators from Jakarta) said they needed the convicts to help them find the perpetrators of a series of terrorist attacks (in the country)," said Tulus.

The three were sentenced to life imprisonment for their roles in the Oct. 12 Bali bombings, in which at least 202 people were killed and over 300 others injured. -- JP
