Four men given 12-year terms for plot against Danish newspaper

Four men were each handed 12-year prison terms Monday by a Danish court for plotting an attack on a Danish newspaper that published controversial caricatures of prophet Mohammed. The four were arrested in December 2010 in a joint operation by Danish and Swedish police. All four lived in Sweden; three were Swedish nationals, one was Tunisian. The prosecution said the plot was linked to the caricatures of the prophet published in 2005 by the Jyllands-Posten. One of the 12 cartoons depicted Mohammed with a bomb in his turban.
