NEWS IN BRIEF
Court sentences
cleric to 4 years
JAKARTA, Indonesia — A
court sentenced Muslim cleric
Abu Bakar Bashir on Tuesday
to four years in prison for sedi
tion, but threw out charges that
he belonged to al-Qaida’s main
Asian ally — even though
some of Southeast Asia’s top
terror suspects have named
him as the group’s spiritual
leader.
The trial was seen as a key
test of Indonesia’s commitment
to confronting Islamic militancy,
and the mixed result and
lenient sentence was a blow to
Indonesia’s efforts to combat
terrorism.
Judges said there was insuf
ficient evidence that the ailing,
soft-spoken 65-year-old
preacher is the top power
behind — or even a member of
— Jemaah Islamiyah, the
group blamed for the October
2002 Bali nightclub bombings
and the Aug. 5 bombing of
Jakarta’s Marriott Hotel.

WASHINGTON (AP) —
Nearly 1.4 million more people

About 12.4 percent of the
population, or nearly 34.8 mil
lion people, lived in poverty in
2002, according to the
bureau’s American Community
Survey that was to be released
Wednesday. That was up from
12.1 percent, or 33.4 million, in

Roughly 17.2 percent of chil
dren, or 12.2 million, lived in
poverty in 2002, up from 16.4

in 2001.
Median household income
