Jailed Indonesian militant Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir has rejected accusations of terrorism, while expressing admiration for al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, according to the Saudi weekly Al-Majallah. "The American accusations are pure allegations," Ba'asyir, 65, said from prison in an interview for Friday's edition of the magazine published in London. Ba'asyir denied engaging in "terrorist activities" or being the head of the al-Qaeda-linked Jamaah Islamiyah terror group.
