[AP] A British judge on Monday sentenced four British Muslims convicted of a plot to bring down trans-Atlantic planes with liquid explosives. Abdulla Ahmed Ali, 28, the ringleader, was sentenced to at least 40 years in jail for plotting the biggest terrorist attack since 9/11. Assad Sarwar, 29, was ordered to serve at least 36 years in prison; Tanvir Hussain, 28, was sentenced to at least 32 years; and Umar Islam, 31, received 22 years. Prosecutors said the men were likely just days away from mounting their suicide attacks when they were arrested in August 2006.
