DUBAI: A Saudi court yesterday sentenced four people to jail terms for trying to go to Iraq to join fighting there and for supporting Al Qaeda’s operations abroad, state news agency SPA said.
The four, one of whom was sentenced in absentia, were given prison sentences of two years to five years and six months. They were also banned from travel for specific periods. Other charges included “storing and possessing prohibited computer documents and helping a number of people in going abroad to fight in troubled nations”, SPA said.
