A jailed Indonesian militant testified that alleged Jemaah Islamiah terrorist network leader Abu Bakar Bashir had nothing to do with the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings.
Ali Imron, serving a life sentence for his role in the blasts that killed 202 people, mostly foreign tourists, told a Jakarta court that he had known Bashir since 1982. Bashir is charged with inspiring his followers to carry out the Bali bombings and a 2003 attack on a Jakarta hotel, which killed 12 people.
