Jakarta – The Central Jakarta District Court sentenced on Thursday a former teacher at West Nusa Tenggara's Umar bin Khattab (UBK) Islamic boarding school to four years in jail for funding terrorism.

Mujahidul Haque, aka Uqbah aka Mujahid, was proven guilty of handing over Rp 30 million (US$3,360) to Lutfi Haidaroh, aka Ubaid, who is currently standing trial for organizing a militant training camp in Aceh.

Noted terrorist convict Abu Bakar Baasyir was recently sentenced to 15 years in prison in June for his role in organizing the same camp. "The defendant [Mujahidul] has been validly and legally proven to have given money to those who have committed terror actions," Maratua Rambe, who presided over the panel of judges trying Mujahidul, read from the verdict on Thursday.

Maratua said that Mujahidul had collected the money from donors in Bima, West Nusa Tenggara, and from his personal income from garment and honey trading.

He added that the convict had taken an oath before Baasyir, who had visited Bima to preach in a number of mosques, before agreeing to donate the money via Lutfi.

The court also sentenced on Thursday Abu Tholut, who headed the military training, to eight years in prison.
