JAKARTA, INDONESIA (BNO NEWS) -- The West Jakarta District Court on Monday sentenced two terror suspects to ten years in prison each for their involvement in a terror training camp in Indonesia, the Jakarta Post reported.

Komarudin al-Mustaqim, 37, also known as Mustaqim, and Luthfi Haidaroh, 32, alias Ubaid, were sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment each for their roles in the terror cell known as Al Qaeda in Aceh.

Mustaquim was the alleged leader of a training camp in for terrorists in Jalin village, Jantho, Aceh Besar. Ubaid was the treasurer of Jamaah Ansharut Tauhid (JAT) and collected funds for the training.

Authorities said that the camp was training individuals to carry out Mumbai-style attacks involving suicide gunmen targeting foreigners, especially from western countries, as well as political leaders and police in Indonesia.

Judge Mutarto said that Ubaid organized the collection of money which amounted $5,000 to supply the logistics for the terrorists' training. JAT is led by Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir who is suspected of providing funds to Ubaid and is currently on trial.

Mustaqim was found guilty of providing training in map reading and handling weapons at a camp discovered in Aceh province in February 2010. The defendant said that he would file an appeal against the verdict.

The Al Qaeda in Aceh group perpetrated the 2002 Bali attacks which resulted in the death of 202 people. The network's alleged operations leader Dulmatin was shot dead by police in March last year. Ba'asyir is the current spiritual leader of the terror organization.
