Indonesian judges began reading their verdict on the first suspect to face judgement in the Bali bombing trials as police imposed tight security around the court. Amrozi, a village mechanic, was the first of 34 people to be detained for the bombing of last October's bombings which killed 202 people in the worst terrorist attack since September 11, 2001 in the United States. Should be he found guilty, he could face death by firing squad.
