Malang, East Java. After receiving a sentence cut for Idul Firi, 2005 Bali bomb convict Kholili on Wednesday was released on parole.
Kholili, who was a member of the terrorist network led by Dr. Azahari and Noordin M. Top, was sentenced to eighteen years in prison for delivering the bomb produced by Azahari. He was arrested in Central Java in November 2005.
“He served less than ten years,” Herry Wahyudiono, the chief of Lowokwaru Prison in Malang, East Java, said on Wednesday.
Herry added that Kholili deserved the sentence cut and the parole, as he behaved well in jail and had repented.
Kholili, who is also known as Yahya, said he was surprised to find out that he would be released on parole, but that he was happy to leave prison.
“I’ve just got the information from the prison warden today,” Kholili said upon release. “No members of my family know.”
Kholili said that had not thought of what to do after being released. “The most important thing is to go home and meet my family,” he said.
The bombings in Kuta and Jimbaran on Oct. 1, 2005, killed 20 people and left over 100 injured.
