Sydney, Australia, 18^th February 2010 - Five Sydney Muslim men were sentenced to harsh sentences of up to 28 years jail on Monday 15 February 2010 by the Supreme Court, after being earlier convicted on terrorism-related offences. The presiding judge, Justice Whealy, admitted that an intent to kill could not be established. However he found the mere possibility of life being taken sufficient to pronounce them guilty, particularly given the ‘extreme' views they held.
