An Indonesian cleric Aman Abdurrahman was sentenced to death today over his role in a 2016 Islamic State terror attack. Four persons were killed in the attack after a suicide bomber blew himself up at a Starbucks cafe in Jakarta.
Considered the de facto head of all IS supporters in Indonesia, Abdurrahman is also the spiritual leader of local extremist network Jamaah Ansharut Daulah(JAD).
Authorities said, JAD was also involved in a recent wave of suicide bombings in Indonesia’s second-biggest city Surabaya.
