Australian Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty warned that imposing the death penalty on the Bali bombers would answer their wish to be treated as martyrs. With several of the suspects having declared their readiness to die, Mr Keelty said the trial could end up furthering the terrorists' aims. "If you think about the motivation and the end gain for some of these terrorists, I mean by prosecuting them and giving them the death penalty might actually be serving them up exactly what they need to be, martyrs."
