    Saudi court sentences hundreds

    A Saudi court has sentenced 323 people for links to anti-government groups in the first publicly reported trials in the kingdom since the attacks in 2003.

    The court gave verdicts against 289 Saudis and 41 foreigners, the state news agency SPA said on Monday, without disclosing their nationalities.
    Sentences ranged from a few months to 30 years.
    Seven were acquitted of some charges, while others were banned from travelling abroad, SPA said.
    Saudi officials said on Wednesday that one person had been sentenced to death in the trials, but gave no details of the other verdicts.
