Verdict imminent in Bali blast trial

An indonesian court will pass judgment next month on a fiery young Muslim militant who faces the death penalty over the Bali blasts, the second verdict in a string of trials over the attacks that killed 202 people.

Imam Samudra, the accused mastermind of last October's attacks, shouted "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest) three times when prosecutors restated their demand he be executed.

He made the same gesture when Chief Judge I Wayan Sugawa said a panel of five judges would deliver its verdict on September 10.
