Amrozi (41) was sentenced at a five-judge Indonesian court. Dubbed the smiling bomber, he was convicted on charges of helping plot, organise and carry out crimes of terror in relation to the blasts that killed 202 people, mostly foreign tourists, on October 12th last year.

"Burn, burn the Jews," a defiant-looking Amrozi shouted in Arabic as two police escorted him to a seat at the centre of the court opposite a panel the five judges.
