Sentencing the four — who included two German converts to Islam — to between five and 12 years, judge Ottmar Breidling said they planned to stage a “monstrous bloodbath” with car bombings in German cities.
In what Breidling called the biggest terror plot in German post-war history, the four were convicted in a high-security courtroom in the western city of Duesseldorf.
