Jail for Strasbourg bomb plotters
BBC

Ten suspected Islamic militants have been jailed in Paris for their part in a failed plot to blow up a Christmas market in Strasbourg in December 2000.

The suspects - all Algerian or French-Algerian - were sentenced to terms of up to nine years.

The plot was discovered just days before it was allegedly due to be carried out on New Year's Eve.

One of the convicted men is said to have been an associate of al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
