" Bali bombers may be freed by ruling"
The convictions of dozens of Islamists involved in the Bali bombings two years ago could be overturned after Indonesia's highest court ruled that the laws under which they were tried were unconstitutional.
The constitutional court in Jakarta yesterday declared that the terrorism legislation was invalid as it had passed into law months after the bombings, in which 202 people died, including 28 Britons.
There is, of course, the possibility that covert state or private enforcement might occur if they are indeed released.
