Bali – An Indonesian court on the resort island of Bali sentenced two men on Monday to 12 and 15 years in jail for their part in last year's nightclub bombings that killed 202 people, most of them young Western tourists.

The verdicts at the Denpasar court brought to 15 the number of people sentenced over the blasts. Two of the main plotters have been sentenced to death by firing squad, while another was given a life term after showing remorse. Prosecutors are demanding death for a fourth key defendant, and that verdict is due on Thursday.

Presiding judge I.B. Jagra said on Monday defendant Hernianto had helped with the October 12 bombings by providing his house in July last year for a planning meeting. "The court sentences the defendant Hernianto to 12 years in jail," he said. Prosecutors had demanded a 20 year term. In a separate trial at the court, Maskur bin Abdul Kadir was sentenced to 15 years in jail.

Presiding Judge Gde Damendra said Maskur had helped the Bali bombers find a boarding house, buy a car and survey the targets. Prosecutors had demanded a 15 year jail term.

Indonesia, seeking to crack down on militant Muslims, has won international praise for the Bali bombing investigation and trials that have resulted in tough sentences.

The Bali bombings have been blamed on a Southeast Asian radical group known as Jemaah Islamiah that is seen by many security experts as the regional arm of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network.
