Indonesian cleric Aman Abdurrahman was sentenced to death today over his role in a 2016 Islamic State terror attack that saw a suicide bomber blow himself up at a Jakarta Starbucks cafe.

Heavily armed police guarded his hearing at a Jakarta court -- which had earlier found Abdurrahman guilty of masterminding the attack that killed four -- as it ordered his execution.
