Two jailed for Bali bombings

Indonesian courts on Monday jailed for 15 years each two men who robbed a jeweller's shop to raise funds for the Bali bombings, which killed 202 people.

Judge Ida Bagus Jagra said Andi Hidayat, alias Agus, in August 2002 took part in a robbery at Serang in west Java in which 2.5kg of gold jewellery and 5 million rupiah ($600) in cash were stolen.

The loot was handed over to Imam Samudra, the alleged field commander of the Bali attack, later that month. Samudra, 33, will hear a verdict in his trial on Wednesday.

In a separate trial, judges found Junaedi, alias Amin alias Engkong, guilty of the same charges as Hidayat and gave him the same sentence.

Police say the Jemaah Islamiyah carried out the attack on two nightclubs.

Police have detained 34 Bali suspects, of whom 27 have gone on trial. One of them, Amrozi, has been sentenced to death.
