An Indonesia court is due to hand down its verdict against Umar Patek, dubbed "Demolition Man", for his role in the 2002 Bali bombings, bringing a 10-year probe into the nation's deadliest act of terror to a close.Patek, 45, is accused of assembling explosives for twin suicide bombings on a bar and a nightclub in Bali that killed 202 people, including 88 Australians, and church attacks in Jakarta on Christmas Eve in 2000 that killed 19.
The West Jakarta district court opened the session at around 9:20am on Thursday (0220GMT) with about 100 journalists, many Australian, crammed into a small 12-seater section to hear Patek's fate four months after the trial began.
Around 300 police were guarding the courtroom and four snipers stood atop neighbouring buildings, West Jakarta police chief Widodo told the AFP news agency.
State prosecutors have sought a life sentence for Patek, dubbed "Demolition Man" by local media.
He is accused of illegal weapons possession, concealing terrorist acts, immigration violations and premeditated murder.
But the court was told that his role was comparatively minor. Patek says he never agreed with the bomb attack and has apologised for the first time to the victims and their families.
