What a shame:

Wearing his trademark white skullcap and shawl, a smiling Bashir was surrounded by supporters shouting “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest).

“I thank God almighty, also my lawyers and the gentlemen who defended me during my trials,” Bashir said.

“I will maintain my struggle to uphold sharia (Islamic law), he added, before getting into a black van.

Seen by the West as the spiritual head of the al Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiah (JI) regional militant network, Bashir was convicted of being part of a conspiracy behind the Bali bombings that killed 202 people, many of them Australian tourists.

If we’re truly serious about the war on terror this guy won’t live long.
