Prosecutors demand death for Bali bombing suspect

INDONESIAN prosecutors yesterday demanded that the alleged mastermind of last year’s Bali bombings be sentenced to death.

The crowd of around 50 people in the court, including relatives of foreign victims of the October 12 attack, applauded when the sentence demand was read out.

Imam Samudra, a 33-year-old Islamic militant, has admitted to taking part in the blasts that killed 202 people, mostly foreign tourists enjoying an evening out in a nightclub.
