A Yemeni court on Saturday sentenced an Islamic militant to death and 14 others to prison terms of up to 10 years for a string of terrorist attacks, including the bombing of a French oil tanker. Hizam Saleh Megalli, 26, received the death sentence after the court convicted him of the murder of a police officer. Five defendants received prison sentences of 10 years after being convicted of involvement in the October 2002 bombing attack on the French supertanker Limburg off Yemen's southeastern coast.
