Death sentence demanded for Australian Embassy bomber

Indonesian prosecutors today asked for the death sentence for one of the Australian Embassy bombers, saying he was a key planner in the attack that killed 11 people who showed no remorse for his actions.

Abdul Hassan, a 34-year-old worker at a state-owned agriculture firm, also is accused of buying bomb-making material and hiding the attack’s masterminds Azahari bin Husin and Noordin Mohamed Top, who remain on the run.
