Lebanese officials say a military court has convicted a radical Muslim cleric of terrorism charges and sentenced him in absentia to life in prison.
Omar Bakri Mohammed, who has Syrian citizenship, lived in Britain for 20 years where he headed the now-disbanded radical Islamist group al-Muhajiroun. He left Britain for Lebanon in 2005 and the British government barred him from returning. (AP)
