Three Islamic militants convicted of decapitating three Christian schoolgirls in Indonesia and dumping their bloodied heads in villages were sentenced yesterday to between 14 and 20 years.
The alleged members of the al Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiah network left a note close to the bodies vowing more killings to avenge the deaths of Muslims in sectarian violence on Sulawesi island.
"Wanted - 100 more heads," said Judge Lilik Mulyadi, reciting the letter. "Blood must be paid with blood, lives with lives, heads with heads."
Indonesia, the most populous Muslim nation, has been hit by a string of terrorist attacks targeting Christians and nightclubs, restaurants and foreign embassies.
