Thailand court jails Iranians over bomb plot
A court in Thailand has jailed two Iranian men for their roles in an attempted bomb plot in the capital, Bangkok, in February 2012.
The two men said they were innocent, but the court found them guilty of charges that included illegal possession of explosives.
The men were detained after a huge explosion accidentally damaged the house they were staying at.
