Indonesian prosecutors have asked the judges hearing the Bali bombing trial of key defendant, Imam Samudra, to sentence him to the firing squad.
| Sounds fair to me, except that they can only shoot him once... |
"Brutal" was how prosecutors described Imam Samudra, a man they today told the court was the field commander for the Bali operation, picking Bali as the target, raising the finances and recruiting other members of the plot. After reading from more than 300 pages of charges compiled during the trial, the prosecutor said Imam Samudra deserved to die for an act that caused massive casualties and terrified an entire population. As Imam Samudra left the court Australian man, Jan Laczynski waved an Australian flag and called on the suspect to apologise. Security guards told journalists that Imam Samudra responded "Australians are the terrorists".
| Yasss... The world is crawling with marauding Australians, exploding without warning, causing deaths by the thousands. It's terrible. Terrible. |
Imam Samudra will have the opportunity to present his defence in two weeks time. |
