US-Vietnamese terrorists jailed

– A Vietnamese court found two Vietnamese-Americans guilty of terrorism yesterday and sentenced them to 14 years in jail for planning a series of bomb plots earlier this year, a court official said.

James Nguyen and Angel Phan were convicted, along with 10 accomplices who received short jail terms, after a two-day trial. All defendants had been charged with “attempting to overthrow the state”. Phan and Nguyen had been accused of organising at least three attacks. – Reuters
