[AP] Verena Von Derschau - A French court sentenced Christian Ganczarski, 42, a German convert to Islam, to 18 years in prison Thursday for his role in the bombing of a synagogue in Tunisia that killed 21 people in April 2002.

The brother of one of the Tunisian suicide bombers, Walid Naouar, received a 12-year sentence for having provided material help for the attack.
