Indonesian Cleric Denies Terrorism Charges

JAKARTA LIFE'S STYLE

Indonesia's most famous Islamic cleric Abu Bakar Bashir denies he helped set up, fund and arm a new terror cell in western Indonesia.

He told judges at the South Jakarta District Court early Thursday he was the victim of a U.S. conspiracy and that all charges against him have been fabricated.

The 72-year-old imam faces a maximum penalty of death. He was met by hundreds of supporters who packed into the courtroom and gathered outside, shouting "Allah Akbar!" or "God is Great!"

Prosecutors say the new terrorist cell uncovered last year in Aceh province had been planning Mumbai-style gun attacks on foreigners in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, and the assassination of prominent figures lke President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
