A militant who had offered himself to carry out a suicide bombing was sentenced to 15 years in jail Thursday for supporting role in triple suicide bombings on Bali island in last October.

Anif Solchanudin, the defendant, was charged of storing explosives, plotting the bombings and harboring the suspected mastermind, a district court in Bali heard.

"The defendant... is found convincingly guilty of committing to collaborative acts of terror and of keeping ammunitions and explosives. The defendant is sentenced to 15 years in jail," presiding judge Daniel Palittin was quoted by the country's leading news website Detikcom as reading the verdict.

Anif becomes the fourth convict in the attacks that killed 20 people and injured 150 others.

"I accept the verdict and will not file defense plea," Anif said.

Prosecutors said in earlier hearings Anif has proposed himself to launch the attack but he was not recruited by the suspected masterminds, Azahari Husin, who was killed in a police raid in November 2005, and Noordin Moh Top, who remains at large.

Anif was arrested in the Central Java capital of Semarang one month after the attack.
