Denpasar, Indonesia, Aug 07: An Indonesian court today found Amrozi guilty of last October's Bali bombings and sentenced him to death.
Chief judge I Made Karna said Amrozi, 41, had "legally and convincingly been found guilty of all charges."
Police say Amrozi, one of three brothers arrested in connection with the Bali operation, had admitted buying the explosives and the minivan used in last October's blast that killed over 200 people. But the 41-year-old mechanic has denied that the attack was the work of the regional militant Muslim group, Jemaah Islamiah (JI), which has been linked to Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda network.
Amrozi was the first suspect to be arrested in connection with the Bali attack and the first to appear before the courts. He may now face execution by firing squad. Bureau Report
