Indonesian court rejects call to free detained cleric
An Indonesian court has rejected a lawsuit demanding the release of terror suspect
Abu Bakar Bashir, ruling his detention is legal.
Bashir's lawyers said his detention is illegal because police had changed their
allegations against him since his arrest last October.
Police say Bashir is the spiritual leader of the Jemaah Islamiyah regional terror
network, which is blamed for the Bali bombings.
