The trial of two Indonesians has begun in Bali; they are accused of assisting the two main suspects in last year's deadly bombings in Bali. Prosecutors say one of them rented a house for one of the bombers, who was sentenced to death last month for orchestrating the attacks that killed 202 people. In a separate trial, prosecutors charged another individual with harboring a fugitive. He was sentenced to death earlier this month for aiding in the planning and execution of the attacks. Indonesian police have attributed the Bali bombings to the Islamic militant group Jemaah Islamiyah.
