An Indonesian court today sentenced the wife of a fugitive Malaysian believed to be involved in several major terror attacks to three years in jail for hiding information about her husband.

Judges at the Bangil district court in East Java province found Munfiatun "legally and convincingly" guilty of failure to notify authorities about the whereabouts of Noordin Mohammad Top, said the court's deputy chief, Sir Johan.

Munfiatun, who appeared in court wearing a head-to-toe black veil, "concealed information on a terror suspect" by having frequent contacts with Noordin while he was on the run to escape a police hunt.

Johan said she was yet to decide whether to appeal the verdict.

Prosecutors had earlier recommended four years in jail for Munfiatun, who married Noordin in June last year and has been detained since September 2004.

Noordin and fellow Malaysian explosives expert Azahari Husin are wanted in Indonesia for alleged key roles in attacks including the October 2002 Bali bombings and deadly blasts at a hotel and the Australian embassy in Jakarta.

The Bali bombings killed 202 people, mostly foreign holiday makers, the attack on the Marriott hotel in Auguest 2003 left 12 people dead while 10 people and the suicide bomber perished in the embassy explosion last September.

All three attacks have been blamed on the Jemaah Islamiah regional extremist network, said to have links to Al-Qaeda.
