McDonald's bombing mastermind jailed for life

An Indonesian court today sentenced the alleged mastermind of 2002 bombing of a McDonald’s restaurant to life in prison, saying the Islamic militant planned the attack that came just weeks after the Bali nightclub attacks.

Agung Abdul Hamid, 38, was found guilty of being the “field co-ordinator and financier” of the early evening bombing that killed three people in the South Sulawesi provincial capital of Makassar. The dead and injured were all Indonesians.
