High court upholds Bakar Bashir's guilty verdict

Indonesia’s high court has upheld a 30-month prison sentence for accused terror chief Abu Bakar Bashir for conspiracy in the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings, a court official said today.

Lawyers for Bashir, who the US and Australia allege is the spiritual head of the al-Qaida-linked Jemaah Islamiyah terror group, said they had yet to be informed of the decision but would appeal to the Supreme Court.
