Four men who belonged al Qaeda’s “Dusseldorf cell” and had planned to detonate two cluster bombs amid a large crowd in Germany were sentenced to jail terms ranging from four to nine years. The plans for the attack were found on the hard drive of one of Osama bin Laden’s computers. Antiterrorism police in Cologne detained nine men, including a 58-year-old Pakistani and a 31-year-old German who are suspected of supporting and facilitating recruitment for the Islamic State and two other terrorist groups.
