MAKASSAR, South Sulawesi: The Pare-Pare Prosecutor's Office

MAKASSAR, South Sulawesi: The Pare-Pare Prosecutor's Office handed over the case files of two bombing suspects to the Makassar District Court on Tuesday.

Saifullah Amir, alias Imam Nawawi bin Amir, 24, and Muhammad Amir, alias Muhammad Eksel bin Abdul Madjid, 28, are suspects in last December's bombings of a McDonald's outlet and car dealership in Makassar, South Sulawesi.

Prosecutors also presented material evidence against Saifullah and Muhammad, including a blue Vespa motorbike, two bank accounts and a notebook. The suspects are being held at the South Sulawesi Police Headquarters.

The spokesman for the Makassar District Court, Karel Tuppu, said the court had so far received the case files of 14 of the 15 suspects in the bombings. Several of the suspects' trials have already begun.

Two of the defendants have been charged with aiding the bombers, and could each face 10 years in jail if found guilty. --JP
