Indonesian cleric sentenced to death over 2016 terror attack: court
JAKARTA, June 22, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Indonesian cleric Aman Abdurrahman was
sentenced to death Friday over his role in a 2016 Islamic State terror attack
that saw a suicide bomber blow himself up at a Jakarta Starbucks cafe.
Heavily armed police guarded his hearing at a Jakarta court — which had
earlier found Abdurrahman guilty of masterminding the attack that killed four
— as it ordered his execution.
