Indonesia's Supreme Court has overturned militant cleric Abu Bakar Bashir's conviction on conspiracy charges in the 2002 Bali bombings.The verdict clears his name since he has already served his two-and-a-half year sentence.
"The court today decided to uphold Bashir's judicial review," chief judge German Hoediarto said on Thursday.

"The court today decided to uphold Bashir's judicial review," chief judge German Hoediarto said on Thursday.The judge also added that he hoped the fatwa against his family would now be lifted.
