RABAT, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- A Moroccan anti-terror court has sentenced eight people to up to 15 years in prison for terror-related crimes, local media reported on Thursday.

The defendants were jailed for "forming a gang to seriously undermine public order, inciting and persuading others to commit terrorist acts, deliberately assisting those who commit terrorist acts," Alyaoum24.com news site said.

Among the convicts, three people were deported from France, and another was linked to a terror cell busted in a joint operation between Morocco and Spain, the same source pointed out. Enditem
