Bali bomber warns more al-Qaida attacks 'very likely' if he is executed

An Islamic militant awaiting execution in Indonesia for carrying out the 2002 Bali bombings has warned that al-Qaida would be "very likely" to launch revenge attacks if authorities kill him, a magazine reported.

Imam Samudra and two other Indonesian militants were sentenced to death in 2003for their roles in the suicide attacks that killed 202 people, mostly foreign tourists, at two nightclubs on the resort island of Bali.

The three - who have admitted to planning and taking part in the strikes - are awaiting a final legal appeal to their sentences.
