JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — An Indonesian court sentenced an Islamist militant to 7½ years in prison on Tuesday for masterminding a plot to bomb Myanmar’s embassy in the country’s capital, while police elsewhere arrested two extremists they said were poised to launch an attack on officers.

The developments highlight the resilience of extremists in Indonesia despite a sustained crackdown by authorities over the last decade that has severely weakened them. Militants with links to al-Qaida were responsible for a series of bloody and spectacular attacks against Western civilian targets in the 2000s.
