"President Bush to arrive in Korea on Wednesday"


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BUSAN - U.S. President George W. Bush will arrive here on Wednesday, a day before he is to meet President Roh Moo-hyun in Gyeongju, southeast Korea.

It was not immediately confirmed where Bush will arrive, but the president is most likely to stay in Busan during his participation in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit forum this week, except for his one-day trip to Gyeongju, some 80 kilometers from Busan.

During the weeklong APEC forum and ahead of the summit conference opening for two days from this Friday, Bush is to meet several of his counterparts including the heads of state from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations also participating in the annual event, the sources said."

Saudi jailed for discussing the Bible

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (Reuters) -- A court sentenced a teacher to 40 months in prison and 750 lashes for "mocking religion" after he discussed the Bible and praised Jews, a Saudi newspaper reported yesterday.
Al-Madina newspaper said secondary-school teacher Mohammad al-Harbi, who will be flogged in public, was taken to court by his colleagues and students.
He was charged with promoting a "dubious ideology, mocking religion, saying the Jews were right, discussing the Gospel and preventing students from leaving class to wash for prayer," the newspaper said.
Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam, strictly upholds the austere Wahhabi school of Islam and bases its constitution on the Koran and the sayings of the prophet Muhammad. Public practice of any other religion is banned.
A U.S. State Department report criticized Saudi Arabia last week, saying religious freedoms "are denied to all but those who adhere to the state-sanctioned version of Sunni Islam."
The newspaper said Mr. al-Harbi will appeal the verdict.
