STORYLINE:
The man who allegedly masterminded last year's Bali nightclub bombings went on trail on Monday.
Afghanistan-trained Imam Samudra was lead into the courtroom at the government building used to host the trial on the resort island.
After sitting down, he shouted briefly, but then sat impassively through the rest of the proceedings.
Samudra was dressed in a white loose fitting shirt and wearing an Islamic prayer cap.
Prosecutor Nyoman Dili began reading out the long indictment against Samudra.
Samudra is charged with planning and executing the bloodiest terrorist attack since the September 11 attacks.
His lawyers and police say he has confessed to carrying out the bombings.
He is charged under anti-terror laws and, if found guilty, could be executed.
Samudra, 32, is suspected of being a key figure in the al-Qaida-linked terror group Jemaah Islamiyah, which has been blamed for carrying out the October 12 bombings.
He is the second of 33 suspects to go on trial over the bombings.
The trial of Amrozi bin Nurhasyim, accused of buying explosives and bomb-making material used in the attack began on May 12 and was also scheduled to continue on Monday.
Samudra has told reporters he targeted the nightclubs in Bali because he was aiming to kill as many Americans as possible.
202 people, mostly foreign tourists, were killed in the bombings.
