Australia jails three for decades over Christmas bomb plot in 2016A court in Australia sentenced three men on Friday to decades in prison for plotting bomb attacks on Christmas Day in 2016 at key sites in the southeastern city of Melbourne, police said. The men were found guilty last year of planning the attacks in Australia’s second city in what authorities called “an imminent terrorist event” inspired by militant group Islamic State. A 24-year-old man, Hamza Abbas, was jailed for 22 years, while Ahmed Mohamed, 25, and Abdullah Chaarani, 29, were jailed for 38 years including sentences for another attack, the Australian Federal Police said in a statement.
