Imron denied special leave

DENPASAR: Prison officials Tuesday denied a convicted Bali
bomber permission to attend the funeral of his infant son, the
bomber's lawyer said.

Ali Imron is serving a life sentence in a Bali jail for
helping to plan the attacks, which took place on Oct. 12, 2002
and killed 202 people.

His laywer, Suyanto, told AFP that the director of the prison
where Imron was being held denied him permission to attend the
funeral Tuesday in Lamongan, East Java.

Imron's son, Iqbal, died earlier in the day possibly from
complications after a bout of serious diarrhea, Suyanto said. -- AFP
