Councilor charged

Councilor charged

DILI, East Timor: Prosecutors are seeking a four-year prison
term for a Manatuto regency councilor accused of making a
"molotov cocktail" bomb for a demonstration last year.

"He should be held responsible for his subversive activities,"
prosecutor Indro Pramono was quoted by Antara as saying on
Thursday.

The defendant's attorney, Arnoldus, said in a previous court
session that the councilor only planned on making a bomb but that
he had not actually carried it out.

The prosecutor also demanded a 3.5-year prison term for
another defendant, who allegedly commissioned the accused to make
the bomb. (31)
