Cleric jailed on terror charge

The Indonesian Muslim cleric known as spiritual leader of the militants who carried out the 2002 Bali bombings has been jailed for 15 years for his support of a terror training camp.

Abu Bakar Bashir’s conviction for incitement of terrorism followed two unsuccessful attempts by prosecutors over the past eight years to link him to terror activities, including a conviction that was later overturned in the Bali attacks that killed 202 people.
