A Yemeni security court yesterday sentenced three al-Qaida defendants, including a German, to prison terms ranging from two to 15 years after convicted them of attacking local, Western tourists and foreign targets, state media reported.
The court said the defendants were found guilty of taking part in al-Qaida groups to plot and attack local and military facilities, as well as Western tourists and foreign targets in Yemen's northeast province of Marib during 2007 to 2010, state-run Saba news agency reported.
Ammar al-Waily was sentenced to 15 years in prison for participating in an al-Qaida cell that attacked a group of Spanish tourists by a car bomb in Marib in July 2007, which left a number of the Spanish tourists and their Yemeni guides dead.
The court also handed down three years prison term against Sadam al-Raimy and two years in prison against Yemeni-German defendant Rami Hans, a son of a German businessman, for their involvement in al-Qaida's attacks.
Hans was also ordered to be put under police surveillance for two years after his release.
The trial of those defendants began on September 20, 2010.
