Tunisian 'terror' suspects get prison time

Fourteen Tunisians have been sentenced to between four and 10 years in prison for "belonging to a terrorist organisation," legal sources said on Monday. Three of the defendants, Ghaith Ghazouani, 23, Mahar Bezyouch, 24, and Mohammed Amine Aoun, 22, were sentenced to 10-year prison terms for having ties to Algeria's Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), which announced in September it was linking up with Al-Qaeda. Three other defendants were sentenced to eight years behind bars and the eight others received four-year sentences, one of the defence lawyers, Samir Ben Amor, told AFP.

A judicial source confirmed the verdict handed down in a Tunis criminal court over the weekend, adding that four other people had been sentenced in absentia to 24 years in jail.

#1 Tunisian 'Terror' Suspects Get ~~Prison Time~~ 'Beheading'

Does that work better for snarky use of quotes?

#2 I'd much rather see him swinging from the end of a rope than either being in prison or beheaded. His swinging can be observed by his "comerades", who can contemplate the same fate.

#3 Yeah, and you can set your watch by him, swinging.
