JSX bombing suspects moved to Cipinang jail

JAKARTA (JP): The Jakarta Prosecutor's Office moved on Friday
six suspects accused of the bomb attack on the Jakarta Stock
Exchange (JSX) building last September, from the police detention
center to Cipinang jail, pending their trial.

The office's assistant for general crimes, Suhardjono, said
state and military prosecutors would study the investigation
dossiers before deciding which cases are assigned to a civilian
court or military tribunal.

"Certainly the general trial will be held at the South Jakarta
District Court. We will soon submit the case to the court,"
Soehardjono said.

The suspects will remain in the prosecutors' custody until
Feb. 1, he added.

The prosecutor's office took possession the suspects early in
the day bringing an end to their confinement at the police
detention center where they have been held since Nov. 25.
Prosecutors also accepted three dossiers submitted by the Jakarta
joint investigation team, which included personnel from the city
police and military command.

The first dossier related to three suspects, namely Ibrahim
AMD, and soldiers Chief Sgt. Irwan and Chief Corp. Ibrahim Hasam.

Irwan was a member of the Army's Special Force (Kopassus),
while Ibrahim was a member of the Army's Strategic Reserves
Command (Kostrad). Ibrahim was captured during a crackdown on
marijuana dealing.

The three are accused of violating Article 1 paragraph 1 of
Emergency Law No. 12/1951 for possessing and using ammunition or
explosive material. The crime carries a maximum penalty of death
and a minimum 20-year jail term.

They are also charged with violating Article 187 and Article
200 of the Criminal Code for causing an explosion and destroying
a building.

The second dossier relates to Iswadi H. Jamil, alias Bang Is,
who is charged under the Emergency Law, as well as Article 55 of
the Criminal Code regarding collaboration and persuasion in the
execution of a crime.

The third dossier details charges against Tengku Ismuhadi
Jafar and Nuryadin, who are charged with violating the Emergency
Law, Article 200 of the Criminal Code for destroying a building,
and Article 338 of the Criminal Code relating to crimes which
cause death.

Ismuhadi is the owner of Krung Motor Baru auto repair shop in
Ciganjur, South Jakarta, where the bomb was allegedly assembled.

The bomb exploded in the second basement of the JSX building
on Sept. 13, leaving at least 10 people dead, 46 others injured
and 179 cars destroyed.

In addition to the suspects, joint investigators also
delivered 40 items of evidence to the prosecutors, which included
a Suzuki Sidekick jeep, a Toyota Kijang van, the remains of a
maroon Toyota Mark II sedan in which the bomb was planted, wires
and leads used to make the bomb, and a red carpet removed from
the site where the bomb was allegedly assembled. (bby)
