The Big News Network website reports that a Copenhagen, Denmark court today (June 4, 2012) sentenced four men to 12 years imprisonment after finding them guilty of planning a terrorist attack on newspaper offices, following a violent stir over published cartoons of Prophet Mohammed, the highest revered Muslim figure.
Prosecutors alleged that the men wanted to kill people in revenge for Jyllands-Posten's publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed in 2005 that sparked protests in Muslim countries.
The men -- a Tunisian and three Swedish citizens of Arab origin -- were caught on police cameras while they were discussing whether to behead or shoot their victims.
A machine-gun with a silencer, a pistol, and 108 bullets, and rolls of duct tape were among items found in the men's possession when they were arrested.
