The last of the main suspects tried in connection with last year's Bali attacks has been sentenced to death. Mukhlas, also known as Ali Gufron, was possibly the most significant suspect in the nightclub bombings that killed 202 people. The Indonesian court judges said the charges against him were "legally and convincingly proven", there were no mitigating circumstances and he deserved the maximum sentence of death by firing squad. Prosecutors alleged that the 43-year-old Islamic teacher was the overall co-ordinator of the bombings - chairing the preparatory meetings, channelling funds to finance the attack, and approving the targets. He had admitted involvement in the attack, but denied that he played a direct role. He claimed he just gave the bombers religious guidance.
