Swedes jailed for Somalia bomb plans

Posted on17 December 2010.  

Two Swedes have been sentenced to four years in prison for plotting acts of terrorism in Somalia. Billie Llias Mohamed, 26, and Mohamoud Jama, 22 – both of Somali origin – were found to be part of the Islamist movement al-Shabaab after they were arrested by Swedish police in Stockholm and Gothenburg earlier this year.

“The prosecutor proved that the accused had taken it upon themselves and decided with the Somali Islamist militia al-Shabaab to commit terrorist crimes in the form of suicide attacks,” the court said.
