(Reuters) - Islamic cleric Abu Bakar Bashir, the suspected mastermind of the 2002 Bali bombings which killed 202 people, walked free from prison on Friday after serving 10 years behind bars.

Bashir, 82, is regarded as the spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiah (JI), a jihadist network with ties to al Qaeda, that was blamed for the Bali attacks and a series of others in the world's biggest Muslim majority country.
