Amsterdam, Netherlands, July 26, SPA -- A Dutch court sentenced the confessed killer of Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh to lifeimprisonment Tuesday, the harshest sentence possible for amurder that stunned the country and heightened ethnic tensions. Mohammed Bouyeri, 27, mounted no defense at his two-daytrial earlier this month for the Nov. 2 slaying of VanGogh, whom he accused of insulting Islam, and told thecourt he would do it again if given the chance. Presiding Judge Udo Willem Bentinck said life in prisonwas the only fitting punishment for a crime which sought toundermine Dutch democracy and the political system. Bouyeri, wearing a black and white checkered headscarf,showed no emotion as he shook his lawyer's hand followingthe verdict. He had earlier told the court he had intendedto die in the action and become a martyr for his faith. Bentinck said the three-judge panel had concluded therewas no possibility for Bouyeri to return to society, citinghis lack of remorse and the likelihood he would neverchange his radical views. Bouyeri has two weeks if he wants to lodge an appeal, butthat appeared unlikely, according to a report of The Associated Press.--SPA1311 Local Time 1011 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/279246
