TWO German converts to Islam and two Turkish men were convicted yesterday over a foiled 2007 plot to attack US targets in Germany and given prison sentences ranging up to 12 years.
The four men, operating as a German cell of the radical Islamic Jihad Union, had plotted bombing attacks against American citizens and facilities including the US Air Force's Ramstein base in Germany, the Duesseldorf state court found.
The case "has shown with frightening clarity what acts young people who are filled with hatred, blinded and seduced by wrong-headed ideas of jihad are prepared and able to carry out," Judge Ottmar Breidling said.
Three of the defendants - Fritz Gelowicz, 30, and Daniel Schneider, 24, both converts to Islam, and Turkish citizen Adem Yilmaz, 31 - were convicted of membership in a terrorist organization. Turkish citizen Attila Selek, 25, was convicted of supporting a terrorist organization.
All four also were convicted of preparing explosive devices.
Gelowicz and Schneider were sentenced to 12 years in jail, Yilmaz to 11 years and Selek five.
