Ten terrorists get up to four years imprisonment in Morocco

The ten men were charged with belonging to a radical religious movement known as Salafya Jihadia. They were arrested in Morocco's northern city, Tangier and sentenced for "conspiracy with the intention to prepare and commit terrorist acts," "holding non-authorized public meetings," and "exerting activities in an unrecognised association."
The court condemned three of the defendants to four years in jail, and the remaining seven to two years each.
The court had earlier in the day sentenced a man recently extradited from Spain on terror charges to four years in jail.
El Hassan Miftah Idrissi, who was arrested in mid June 2007 near Barcelona, Spain, and handed over later to Morocco, was sentenced for "conspiracy" and " public order disturbance by resorting to violence and terror."
