Cartoon terror quartet jailed

Four men who planned a shooting spree at the office of a Danish newspaper that published cartoons of the prophet Muhammed were found guilty of terrorism yesterday and each jailed for 12 years.

The men were arrested in late Dec 2010 hours before they planned to carry out an attack on the Jyllands-Posten’s offices in Copenhagen. The court sentenced Mounir Ben Mohamed Dhahri, Munir Awad, Omar Abdalla Aboelazm, and Sabhi Ben Mohamed Zalouti.
