Associate of the Bali Nine jailed for conspiracy

A YOUNG man who accompanied members of the Bali Nine on an aborted drug run to Asia has been jailed for seven years.

Khanh Thanh Ly, 27, pleaded guilty in the Brisbane Supreme Court to conspiring to import heroin into Australia just months before nine Australians were arrested in Bali in April 2005.

Six of the Bali Nine now face death by firing squad for their role in the foiled plan to smuggle 8.3kg of heroin from Indonesia to Australia.

The court was told Ly travelled to Bali twice in 2004 and was involved with Bali Nine ringleader Myuran Sukumaran.
