(Asharq Al-Awsat-UK) Raghida Bahnam - Judge Jan van Lessen at Dusseldorf's higher regional court sentenced Tunisian Sief Allah H, 31, to 10 years in prison last week for planning a biological bomb attack with the deadly poison ricin. The ISIS sympathizer had ordered castor seeds, explosives and metal ball bearings on the internet in order to build the toxic bomb. His German wife Yasmin, 43, stands accused of helping him build the bomb but she is now being tried separately. The judge said they had produced enough ricin to potentially kill up to 13,500 people.
