Four men will each spend 12 years in jail for plotting an attack against a Danish newspaper that published cartoons of the Prophet Muhammedpbuh, a court ruled today.
Swedish and Danish security forces trailed the men for months before arresting them in late 2010 carrying guns, ammunition, duct tape and restraints.
[HI]The court found Mounir Ben Mohamed Dhahri, Munir Awad, Omar Abdalla Aboelazm, and Sabhi Ben Mohamed Zalouti guilty of terrorism; they were living in Sweden when police arrested them, but were born in the Middle East or North Africa.
[/HI]According to prosecutors, the men planned to overrun the Jyllands-Posten in Copenhagen and kill as many people as possible, The Associated Press reported.
[HI]
Islamic tradition forbids anyone from creating images of Muhammadpbuh, God or other important figures from Christian or Jewish religions.
[/HI]They men planned to attack during an awards ceremony featuring Crown Prince Frederik in the same building as the newspaper, CNN said.
Prosecutors said al Qaeda supported :lol::lol::lol: or trained the men, who wanted to carry out an attack with the same violence as Mumbai, India, where dozens were gunned down in a hotel.
The Danish newspapers decision to print editorial cartoons of Muhammad pbuh triggered other wide-ranging protests and failed attacks, BBC said.
One man broke into a cartoonists home and tried to kill him with an ax, while another attempted to bomb the newspaper office.
Danish embassies around the world were also attacked.
Jyllands-Posten published 12 cartoons featuring Muhammadpbuh in 2005.
