Bali bomber refuses to testify in Ba'asyir trial
font size    

Convicted Bali bomber Ali Imron rejected a court summons to testify in the terror trial against Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir in Jakarta Tuesday.

"I have nothing new to tell to the court," Imron said in a statement read by a prosecutor at a makeshift courtroom in South Jakarta.

Imron is now serving a life jail sentence for making the car bomb used in the Bali bombing, which killed 202 people of mostly foreigners in October 2002.

Imron testified in another Ba'asyir trial in May 2003, in which he said the cleric didn't involve in the attack but the cleric possibly knew the plot.

Ba'asyir was acquitted of terror charges in the first trial but was sentenced to jail for immigration offenses.

Prosecutors reopened his terror case for claim that they found new evidence to link Ba'asyir with the Bali and Marriott Hotel bombings in August 2003.
