Indonesian militant leader Encep Nurjaman and two Malaysians were arraigned yesterday before a military commission on charges of murder, terrorism and conspiracy related to nightclub bombings in Bali in 2002.
Mr Nurjaman, known by his nom de guerre Hambali, was a leader of a group called Jemaah Islamiyah, a south-east Asian group linked to al-Qaida. Bombings they are accused of carrying out in Bali and Jakarta killed 213 people.
