Ali Imron, in prison for 21 years for his role in the 2002 Bali bombing that killed 202 people, has been speaking out against radical ideology in Indonesia.
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 17 Two Malaysian terror suspects pleaded guilty yesterday to conspiring in the 2002 Bali bombing after being incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp in.
Defence lawyers for Hambali believe testimony from a man who was executed in 2008 for his part in the attacks on the Sari nightclub and Paddy's Bar could help prove their client's innocence.
When Ali Imron was an active member of the Indonesian terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah, he claimed that he needed only two hours to turn a recruit into a killer. Imron says he now uses his skills of persuasion for good.

WASHINGTON (AFP): US military prosecutors have filed formal charges against an Indonesian militant and two Malaysians in the 2002 Bali bombings and 2003 Jakarta attack, the Pentagon said Thursday (Jan 21).
The charges were filed nearly 18 years after the three were captured in Thailand and after each has spent more than 14 years in the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The first charged was Indonesian militant Riduan Isamuddin, better known by his nom de guerre Hambali, the leader of the Indonesian jihadist group Jemaah Islamiyah and believed to have been Al-Qaeda’s top representative in the region.
