The five judges hearing the case against alleged Bali bomber Amrozi will rule on Thursday on arguments by the man's defence that the case cannot go ahead in its current form. The hearing was watched by a number of Australian relatives of victims of the Kuta attack. Sydney's Ryan and Brock Thompson, whose brother Clint died and Perth woman Kimberley Knighton who lost her mother saw less than an hour of court proceedings. In that time 40-year-old Amrozi slouched in his chair before again signalling a thumbs up to cameramen as he left. The prosecution told the court the case should go ahead, that the retrospective anti-terror charges were valid and that Amrozi was not a minor operative in the plot as suggested by the defence. They say he was a key figure in a crime against humanity.

An indictment will go to the court today against alleged bomb mastermind Imam Samudra. That means his trial will most likely commence next week. |
