Five freed on jihad charges

Wednesday 31 October 2007

A court in Rotterdam has freed five out of six people charged with recruiting for an armed jihad, or holy war.

The court said the public prosecution department had failed to prove the men were trying to persuade people to fight in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The one female defendant, Michelle Y, was sentenced to one month in jail for spreading provocative texts.
