Lebanon sentences two over Germany bomb plot |
2007-12-19 |
![]() The German federal prosecutorÂ’s office says Hamad, 22, and Haj Deeb, 23, took suitcases containing propane gas tanks and crude detonators onto two trains in July 2006 heading from Cologne - one to Koblenz and the other to Dortmund. The bombs failed to go off due to technical errors, but they would have caused a significant number of deaths had they exploded, German prosecutors have said. Hamad, who turned himself in to Lebanese authorities in August 2006, had confessed to his role in the plot but claims it was meant to create fear rather than kill, his lawyer has said. |
