The ringleader of the Bali bombers was sentenced yesterday to death by firing squad after an Indonesian court found him guilty of a "crime against humanity". The judges said Imam Samudra, 33, had been "clearly proven to have planned a terrorist act" under new anti-terrorism laws. He was the second suspected member of the Jemaah Islamiah network to receive a death sentence for his part in the huge explosions at two nightclubs on the island last October, when 202 people were killed.
