On June 13, 2007, Indonesian police confirmed the arrest of leading terrorist suspect Abu Dujana along with seven other suspects which composed the main body of the terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI). Dujana was accused of being a key leader of JI as well as a skilled bomb-maker and the liaison between al-Qaeda and several Indonesian Islamic fundamentalist groups. JI claimed responsibility in the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings, which killed 202 people and injured 240 others. They were also implicated in the 2004 bombing of the US embassy in Jakarta and a series of further bombings in Bali during 2005. Dujana, along with fellow leader Zarkasih, were charged with training and equipping JI members as well as conspiracy to commit terrorism. Both men were eventually found guilty and sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment on charges of terrorism.
