Four convicted in Danish Mohammed cartoon plot
2012-06-04
A Danish court found four men guilty of plotting to kill a large number of people at a newspaper to retaliate for its publication in 2005 of cartoons of Mohammed. The men, three Swedish citizens and a Tunisian, had pleaded not guilty to the charges though one of them had pleaded guilty to illegal possession of weapons.

The men, who were nabbed in a joint Danish-Swedish police operation at the end of 2010, were found guilty on the primary charge of terrorism but were acquitted on two charges of weapons possession on technicalities. Judge Katrine Eriksen said, "The accused...are guilty of terrorism, (They) agreed and prepared acts to kill people."

The men convicted were Mounir Ben Mohamed Dhahri, a Tunisian citizen, Munir Sven Awad a Swedish citizen born in Lebanon, Omar Lars Abdalla Aboelazm, a Swedish citizen born in Sweden to a Swedish mother and Egyptian father, and Sahbi Eric Ben Mohamed Zalouti, a Swedish citizen of Tunisian origin.
