Moroccan sentenced for Madrid bombings

A criminal court in Morocco convicted a 31-year-old man Thursday of belonging to a terrorist group involved in the 2004 Madrid train bombings and sentenced him to 20 years in prison.

Prosecutors at the Sale criminal court, which specializes in terrorism cases, had requested that Abdelilah Ahriz be given a life sentence, saying witness testimony and DNA sampling proved Ahriz' involvement in preparing the simultaneous train bombings that killed 191 people. (AP)
