One defendant, a minor, will be tried separately by a juvenile court. Four others were acquitted. But none of the accused was found guilty of murder in the death of Leon Klinghoffer, 60, the American Jewish passenger shot in his wheelchair and dumped overboard after the hijackers seized the Italian cruise ship in Egyptian waters last Oct. 7-9. (See separate U.S. State Department reaction story.) The life sentences were pronounced in absentia on Abu Abbas, 37, leader of the terrorist group known as the Palestine Liberation Front; his "chief of staff" Ouzudin Badratkan, 39, and Omar Al- Zaid, 2d, described as the PLF treasurer. They and seven others are still at large and were tried in absentia. Abbas allegedly masterminded the hijack. Magied Mulqi, a 23-year- old Palestinian accused of killing Klinghoffer and ordering crew members to throWjhis body into the sea, was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment. According to Italian legal experts, the facts surrounding the murder were vague and the evidence too circumstantial to warrant a conviction for murder. Mulqi, one of the five accused in custody, would in any case have received a life sentence, the maximum penalty allowed under Italian law.

Ahmed U.S. Expresses Satisfaction, Regret With Outcome Ot Trial Of Achille Lauro Hijackers WASHINGTON (JTA) - The United States expressed both satisfaction with the outcome of the trial in Italy of the hijackers of the Achille Lauro and regret that the person who murdered an American hostage on the cruise ship received only a 30-year sentence. "The United States is pleased that persons responsible for fhe death of an American citizen and injuries and damages to others have been convicted," State Department spokesman Bernard Kalb said. "We hope that these convictions will deter terrorist acts in the future." The Italian jury handed down a life sentence last week in absentia to Abu Abbas, the head of the terrorist Palestine Liberation Front, who is believed to have masterminded the hijacking of the Achille Lauro. His whereabouts are unknown. The court gave a 30-year sentence to Magied Al Mulqi, a 23-year-old Palestinian accused of shooting Klinghoffer and ordering crew members to dump his body into the sea. However, neither he nor the others on trial were convicted of murder. "We note that Abu Abbas got a maximum sentence under Italian law," Kalb said!
