October 16, 2003 15:08 IST

An Indonesian court on Thursday jailed Islamic militant Mubarok for life for his part in the Bali nightclub bombings, which killed 202 people.

Judges said Mubarok alias Hutomo Pamungkas was guilty of a 'crime against humanity' for his role in the attack on mostly Western holidaymakers on October 12, 2002.

Mubarok is a self-confessed member of the Al Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah terror group blamed for the bombings.
