  BBC NEWS | World | Asia-Pacific | Profile: Amrozi
Amrozi bin Nurhasyim was born in 1962 in the sleepy village of Tenggulun, a few miles inland from the coast of East Java, the fifth of 13 children.
Amrozi is said to have admitted to meeting the Muslim preacher Abu Bakar Ba'asyir on several occasions - while Mr Ba'asyir was in exile in Malaysia in the 1990s and more recently after the preacher's return in 1998, when he was invited to speak at the Al Islam school.
Amrozi angered families of the Bali bombing victims when he was paraded before the media in November waving and laughing, and was quoted as saying that he was "delighted" by the attack.

Amrozi admitted he had sent 600 kilograms of explosives and a van to Bali, but he denied he had been involved in planning meetings or that he had ever heard of Jemaah Islamiah.

Amrozi Nurhasyim, the first of the Bali bombers to be captured and tried, was convicted for his role in the murder of 202 people and sentenced to death on Aug. 7.
Amrozi is reported to welcome the prospect of "martyrdom," but years spent cooling his heels in prison while the world moves on may take away its appeal.
Amrozi wore an inane grin when he was first paraded in front of the press, and he was wearing the same grin when he was sentenced to death.

For four hours in a Denpasar Court he was unmoved by the plight of Hindu and Christian victims of his terror campaign, telling the court impassively that he understood their moving testimony but had no idea whether it was true or false.
However, Amrozi displayed no sympathy for the female Muslim victim Tumini, who had been in Paddy's Bar with friends and is badly scarred, wearing a pressure bandage on her arm to court.
He was the most animated and angry of the witnesses, displaying deep discomfort at having to detail his horrific injuries to his genital area in front of a crowd of undercover officers who made fun of his predicament.

If Amrozi is executed, it warned, "the fear then must be that the martyr's death he craves will simply rally more zealots to his bloody cause".
By imprisoning Amrozi for life, for example, he could spend decades as a mouthpiece expressing terrorists' statements and inspire extremists to seize hostages or commit other acts in demand that he be set free.

Amrozi denied taking part in any meetings to discuss bombing Bali and said he had told police he had attended several such meetings because he was forced to confess.

Amrozi said plans for the bombing began in earnest in early September and that two or three men began building the bomb on Oct. 5, a few days after he purchased the van used to carry the explosives, Pastika said.

According to police, Amrozi was the owner of the Mitsubishi L300 minivan containing a large bomb that devastated the Sari Club in the Kuta Beach tourist area on the night of October 12 and killed more than 180 people.
Pastika reported that Amrozi told his interrogators that he carried out the bombing because he wanted "to kill as many Americans as possible" and was "disappointed" that the majority of dead were Australians.
It is strange, however, if Amrozi is a hardened JI operative, who, according to national police chief General Da'i Bachtiar, had "field responsibility" for the Bali bombings, that, in less than 48 hours, he confessed to everything, including a series of other bombings, and blurted out the names of his accomplices.
