Cimanggis blast trial delayed

JAKARTA: The Cibinong District Court delayed on Thursday the
trial of OR, a 32-year-old defendant in the Cimanggis explosion,
because the prosecutors failed to complete the indictment.

"We are not ready yet because the indictment still has to be
discussed with the Attorney General's Office," said prosecutor
Basuki.

Presiding judge Eka Budhi Prijanta set the deadline on Jan.
10, 2005 for the prosecutors to complete the indictment.

The defendant, a teacher of an Islamic study group, was
charged with Article 9 and 14 of Law No. 15/2003 on terrorism,
Article 55 of the Criminal Code and Article 1 of State Emergency
Law No.12/1951 on illegal ownership of weapons and explosives.

He and eight other defendants allegedly made a low-explosive
bomb in a rented house in Cimanggis on March 21. The bomb
accidentally exploded. -- Antara
