DENPASAR, Bali: Bali Police deputy chief Brig. Gen. Herman
Hidayat handed over the dossiers of eight suspects in the Bali
bombings to the prosecutor's office on Monday.

The dossiers are on Hernianto, Budi Wibowo, M. Nadjib Nawawi,
Herlambang, Makmuri, Musyafak aka Abdul Hamid, Bambang Setiono
aka Syaiful Suroso and Masykur Abdul Kadir.

Most of them have been charged with willfully helping,
assisting and protecting terrorist and withholding information on
terrorism. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 15 years in
prison.

So far, the police have handed over dossiers on 15 suspects,
including that of Amrozi and Imam Samudra, to the prosecutor's
office.

"Hopefully, we will be able to hand over the dossiers of two
other main suspects, Ali Imron and Mubarok, next week," Edy
Kusumawijaya said

Meanwhile, Abdul Aziz, alias Imam Samudra, said on Monday that
he would retract his confession on the involvement of the alleged
spiritual leader of Jamaah Islamiyah, Abu Bakar Ba'asyir's, in
the attacks.

"Imam Samudra is very concerned that the confession might
endanger the life of an innocent man, in this case Ustadz Abu
Bakar Ba'asyir. Imam had specifically told me that he would
retract his confession," Samudra's main lawyer, Qadhar Faisal,
said here on Monday. --JP
