Three members of a jihad cell
operating in the northern region of Liguria and in the city of
Brescia were convicted of terrorism offences on Wednesday. Akher
Tarek, a 34-year-old Algerian, and Hossameldin Abdelhakim, a
43-year-old Egyptian, were handed prison sentences of six years.
Abdelhakim's 36-year-old brother Antar was given a five-year
term. Another Egyptian was acquitted. It is the first such trial
for Islamic terrorism in the northwestern Liguria region.
