A court convicted blogger Mohammed Jibril Abdurahman for prior knowledge of the July 2009 suicide bombings at the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta. Abdurrahman, who calls himself the “Prince of Jihad” and was sentenced to five years in prison, emailed his brother in Saudi Arabia to tell his brother about an operation that would be “bigger than the WTC [World Trade Center] attack.”
