German court convicts neo-nazi over attack plot

A prominent German neo-Nazi was convicted and sentenced to seven years in prison today for leading a terrorist group that discussed attacking the dedication of a Munich synagogue.

A Bavarian state court found Martin Wiese, 29, guilty of membership in a terrorist organisation for heading the far-right Kameradschaft Sued extremist group, which collected weapons and discussed how it could stop the November 9, 2003, ground-breaking ceremony, attended by Germany’s president and Jewish leaders.
