TAUFIK Abdul Halim aka Dani, the Malaysian who was sentenced to death by the Indonesian authorities for his involvement in terrorist activities including the bombing of churches in the republic in 2001, recently had the sentence commuted to life imprisonment. In the second of a two-part article, LOURDES CHARLES relates his interview with the convicted terrorist, the first Malaysian journalist to do so.
