Four Islamic militants who planned to bomb Jewish institutions in Germany were sentenced to jail. A German court sentenced three members of the Al Tawhid group to jail terms of between six and eight years. A fourth man from Algeria was sentenced to five years for aiding the others. The first three, all from the Middle East, were found guilty of membership in a terrorist organization and of planning attacks on Jewish institutions in Duesseldorf and Berlin on the orders of Jordanian terrorist Abu Mussab Al Zarkawi.
