Prosecutors seek life for Bali bombing suspect
JAKARTA, Indonesia, MAY 21 (AP/UNB) - Prosecutors are seeking life in prison for an Indonesian militant accused of building the car bomb used in the 2002 Bali nightclub attacks.
Umar Patek, a leading member of the al-Qaida-linked network Jemaah Islamiyah, is the last key suspect to be tried in the twin blasts that killed 202 people, many of them foreign tourists.
Lead prosecutor Bambang Suharijadi told the West Jakarta District Court on Monday the 45-year-old militant deserved to spend the rest of his life in jail.
He said Patek was guilty of illegal weapons possession, helping and concealing terrorist acts, immigration violations and premeditated murder.
A verdict is not expected until next month.
