Oslo’s District Court convicted two men for plotting an act of terror against the Danish newspaper that spurred outrage across much of the Muslim world for its 2005 caricatures of the prophet Muhammad.

Mikael Davud was sentenced to seven years in prison and Sawad Sadek Saeed Bujak was handed a 3 1/2-year jail term for planning terror acts, Judge Oddmund Svarteberg said in a live broadcast of the verdict. A third man, David Jakobsen, was acquitted of terror charges and given four months and time served for helping to procure explosive materials.
