I am thankful to be sentenced to death
2005-09-13
I'm happy to die, I'll be a martyr: embassy bomber

JAKARTA (Agencies): The South Jakarta District Court sentenced to death Iwan Darmawan, alias Rois, 29, for his involvement in the 2004 bombing of the Australian Embassy in Jakarta, which killed 11 people.

"We declare the defendant guilty of carrying out a variety of acts while participating in the crime of terrorism, as well as intentionally hiding other suspected terrorists," presiding judge Roki Panjaitan told the court on Tuesday.

Prosecutors accused Rois of working with the accused masterminds of the attack, Malaysians Azahari bin Husin and Noordin M. Top, who are both fugitives and said by police to be senior members of the al Qaeda-linked Jamaah Islamiyah network.

Rois, 30, bought the vehicle and other materials used in the bombing and recruited the driver who drove the van to the embassy, prosecutors asserted.

Earlier, Roki said prosecutors had proved that Rois was guilty of the main charge of "planning to motivate other individuals to carry out the crime of terrorism."

Rois stood and defiantly thrust his fist in the air and shouted "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is great) after the verdict was handed down, exactly four days after the first anniversary of the attack.

"I am thankful to be sentenced to death. I am happybecause I will die a martyr," Rois claimed, but did add that the judgment was "stupid". (*)

#10  Ok with me. Just be sure to use the pig intestines for the rope when he's hanged. Or you could starve him to death in a meat-proccessing plant.

#8  Better to use the bullets we're buying from that Israeli factory. Get the special edition, with the little star of David etched on them.

#3  Although a different word is invariably used in the joke, one can hope that he will be sentenced to "Death by Booka!"(*)

(*)alternatively, "Death by Qxapoiu!", "Death by Ungubunga!" (var Ungabunga), "Death by Ugga Bugga!", "Death by Bulunga!", "Death by Bunga!", "Death by Bongo!" (var Bongo Bongo), "Death by Bonja!", "Death by Pungee!", and "Death by Kawabunga!"

The joke begins with three explorers in Africa, caught by a savage tribe and sentenced to "Death OR..." whatever.

In any event...
