Jordanian militants get more than two decades in jail for bomb plot
 Jordan's military court has sentenced three militants to 22 years and six months in prison for plotting to bomb a church in the capital last May. Two of the Jordanians were in court on Monday when the verdict was read while the third was tried in absentia. The military judge said he handed down the sentence because he considered such a plot a "danger to the state and its people." Prosecutors have said the three planned to remotely detonate an explosive-laden vehicle in front of the church during Sunday Mass. The plot was foiled when the group's mastermind was arrested for speeding on the day he planned to carry out the attack. Posted by: Fred 2009-03-17 |
