An Indonesian court today sentenced a Muslim radical responsible for last year's Bali bombings to death by firing squad.
Mukhlas, alias Ali Gufron, shouted "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) as the verdict was announced.
He was the fourth suspect to be convicted for the October 12th, 2002, bomb attacks and the third to be sentenced to death. He was accused of overall responsibility for the bombings, which killed 202 people.
"We hereby declare the defendant has been proven legally and convincingly guilty of collectively plotting crimes of terrorism and possession of firearms without permission. We impose the death sentence," said presiding judge Tjokorda Rai Suamba.
Mukhlas has remained defiant throughout his trial and refused to cooperate with investigators.
The Denpasar district court sent the first two key suspects, Amrozi, Mukhlas's younger brother, and Imam Samudra, to death row.
A third brother, Ali Imron, was given a life sentence after he cooperated with authorities, showed remorse and urged family and followers not to imitate him.
