Muslim cleric denied bail

LONDON, FEB. 21. A Muslim cleric, accused of inciting followers to murder ``non-believers'' and telling them that a `jehad' has been declared against India by Osama bin Laden, was ordered to stand trial and denied bail today.

Sources said Abdullah-el-Faisal circulated cassettes of his sermons in which he called on Muslims to kill Hindus, Jews and other ``non-believers.''
