Dutch jail 'terror group' Muslims
2006-03-10
A court has convicted nine Muslims of belonging to a terrorist group and planning to attack Dutch politicians, jailing them for up to 15 years. Two men in the so-called Hofstad group were jailed for 15 and 13 years for using hand grenades against police. The court did not pass a jail term on the group's leader, Mohammed Bouyeri, as he is already serving life in prison for murdering film-maker Theo van Gogh.

The trial has been treated as a test of tough new anti-terror legislation. The new laws enable the Dutch government to prosecute those suspected of being potential terrorists.

#1  Yay Holland. It's a long time coming, but they are finally getting their laws caught up with the new realities.
