Lousy NYT Headline

What the Grey Lady said in the headline.

Australian Court Jails Muslim Cleric

Sounds shocking. What possible reason could the court have had for jailing the “Muslim Cleric”?

A Muslim cleric convicted of forming a terrorist cell in Australia was sentenced Tuesday to 15 years in prison, bringing the countryÂ’s largest terrorism trial to a close. Six of his followers were ordered to serve between six and 10 years in prison.

I’m curious – why wasn’t the headline “Australian Court Jails Muslim Terrorists”? Why didn’t they disclose the most important information in the headline?
