Dutch court extends prison for 4 terror plotters

The Hague appeals court re-convicted four Dutch nationals of Moroccan descent for plotting attacks on Dutch politicians, and convicted them of the additional charge of membership in a terrorist organization. Both defendants and prosecutors appealed the original 2006 ruling – the defendants asking for acquittal, and the prosecutors sought stricter sentences. The main suspect of the group of men was Samir Azzouz, who was sentenced to nine years in prison.
