Asia Times Online :: Terrorists go back to school in Indonesia
SEMARANG, Java, Indonesia – From behind secure prison walls, convicted terrorist Abdul Aziz seems harmless, if not playful. The 34-year-old inmate is one of five convicted terrorists now serving time at Kedung Pane prison for their role in plotting the 2005 Bali bombing, which killed 23 people and injured over 120 others.
At the time, their convictions were seen as a significant step in Indonesia’s internationally lauded counter-terrorism campaign. But Aziz and others could soon be up for parole, and there are questions as to how harmless they would be back on Indonesia’s streets.
