Two Swedes charged for Somali terror crime plots

Sweden, March 2 (UPI) -- A Swedish court has freed two men who had been convicted of plotting terrorism in Somalia, media reports said.Mohamoud Jama, 23, and Bille Ilias Mohamed, 26, Swedish residents of Somali origin, had been sentenced to four years in prison in December by the Gothenburg district court, the Swedish news agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyra reported.Prosecutors appealed the sentence, but an appeals court overturned the conviction itself, citing insufficient evidence.Prosecutors, using wiretap evidence, said the men "had taken it upon themselves and decided with the Somali Islamist Al-Shabaab militia to commit terrorist crimes in the form of suicide attacks." Both men denied the charges, but one admitted spending time in an Al-Shabaab training camp. The appeals court granted that the group had committed suicide bombings, but said nothing "indicates that a person who joins or in some other way is active in Al-Shabaab has automatically volunteered to carry out a suicide bomb attack."
