RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — A Saudi religious court has convicted a Lebanese man of claiming to be a prophet and sentenced him to four years imprisonment.

A judicial official in the city of Medina's court says Lebanese national Tony Nassar was found guilty of claiming prophethood.

Such claims are deemed blasphemous in the conservative kingdom.
