Riau terror suspect gets six years

PEKANBARU, Riau: A panel of judges at the Pekanbaru District
Court sentenced on Thursday Sudigdoyo, alias Maryoto, to six
years in prison for harboring alleged Malaysian terrorists Dr.
Azhari and Noordin Mohd. Top.

Presiding judge Sumantri said the accused was found to have
assisted the two international terror suspects in renting a house
in the Delima Puri housing complex in Sidomulyo subdistrict,
Tampan district, Pekanbaru.

Azhari and Noordin, who have been charged with involvement in
last year's Marriott hotel bombing in Jakarta, are still at
large.

The sentence was lighter than the 10-year prison sentence
prosecutors had been seeking.

The judges said the defendant's actions threatened national
stability and the lives of many people. -- Antara
