He faces a death sentence if found guilty under anti-terrorism legislation.<br \/>\nHasanuddin allegedly returned from a visit to members of Philippines Islamist group the Moro Islamic Liberation Front with tales of how that organisation regularly staged bombings to coincide with Lebaran, the festival that ends the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. He later spoke with a preacher in Poso, Central Sulawesi, about whether such a plan could work in Indonesia, but expressed doubt about whether it was appropriate.<br \/>\nHowever, after further discussion with friends, he decided that beheading Christians could qualify as an <span style=\"font-weight: bold\">act of Muslim charity<\/span>.<br \/>\nConscripting several accomplices at a local pesantren, or Islamic school, he directed one of them, Lilik Purnomo, to seek out &#8220;the head of a Christian&#8221;, prosecutors alleged.<br \/>\n&#8220;It would be a great Lebaran trophy if we got a Christian.
