Various of Abu Bakar Bashir supporters chanting STORYLINE: The alleged spiritual leader of an al-Qaida-linked terror group went on trial Wednesday, denying that he ordered deadly bomb attacks against dozens of churches on Christmas Eve 2000 in a plot to overthrow Indonesia's secular government. "I do not accept the charges. These are lies from America," Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir said after prosecutors read out the allegations while armed police took him back to jail. Hundreds of his supporters lifted their hands in unison and shouted "Allahu akbar" - "God is great" - as Bashir entered the tightly guarded makeshift courtroom where the hearing was being conducted by the Central Jakarta District Court. Bashir sat passively as prosecutors read out a 25-page indictment detailing charges that he authorised a near-simultaneous string of church bombings that killed 19 people in 11 towns and cities on December 24, 2000. In the indictment, prosecutors also accused Bashir of giving "his blessing" to other planned terror strikes against Western interests in Southeast Asia, such as aborted attacks on US interests in Singapore. It also alleges Bashir's group drafted a death list of Christian priests in Indonesia and at one time plotted the assassination of President Megawati Sukarnoputri. The trial was adjourned until April 30, when the defence team will present their case. Bashir, 64, is accused of ordering the bombings against Indonesia's Christian minority in the hope of shattering religious tolerance and destabilising the world's most populous Muslim nation. Prosecutors said his ultimate aim was to topple Indonesia's secular government and establish a fundamentalist Islamic state that would span much of Southeast Asia. They said he founded the terror group Jemaah Islamiyah and secretly recruited, trained and deployed militants in several countries. Bashir, who has been detained in Jakarta since October, maintained Wednesday that he is a religious teacher, not a terrorist mastermind. Outside the courtroom, a couple hundred supporters - many of them students from Bashir's Islamic boarding school in the city of Solo - called for his release.
