Indonesia's constitutional court upheld an appeal which could throw all trials of convicted Bali bombers into doubt. In a majority 5-4 decision, the court ruled retrospective anti-terrorism laws used to convict several of the bombers were "against the spirit" of Indonesia's constitution. "The law ... about fighting terrorism used in the Bali bombing has no legal binding power," the decision statement said. The case was lodged with the court by lawyers for Masykur Abdul Kadir, who was last year jailed for 15 years for helping the Bali bombers by providing transport and accommodation. Masykur, the only Bali native involved in the attacks, challenged the sentence, arguing the use of retrospective laws was illegitimate. His lawyers, who also represented death row Bali bomber Amrozi, said they would lodge more appeals if their case was successful, including an appeal by Amrozi.
