Two Somali-born men convicted for terror plans 

Dec 8, 2010, 14:20 GMT 

Stockholm - A Swedish court Wednesday sentenced two Somali- born men to four
years each in prison for planning a terror attack in the troubled African
country. 

The two, aged 22 and 26, were linked to the radical Islamic al- Shabab
militia and were convicted of planning a suicide attack in Somalia, the
ruling said. 

The five-member court was not unanimous but the majority handed down stiffer
sentences than the three-year terms the prosecutor had called for. 

Both men denied the charges that they planned the attacks, but admitted to
have visited Somalia and said they supported al-Shabab's aims. 

Evidence presented by prosecutor Agnetha Hilding Qvarnstrom included
wiretapped telephone conversations. The trial was held at the district court
in the west coast city of Gothenburg. 

The younger man was arrested in the city in May. The older man was detained
in June in a Stockholm suburb. 

Al-Shabab has claimed responsibility for twin suicide blasts in Uganda in
July when more than 70 people were killed.
