{{A Court in Ethiopia has sentenced 10 men to jail terms from between 3-20 years for plotting terror attacks with Alshabaab rebels from neighboring Somalia.}}<\/p>\n
Among those sentenced is a Kenyan national, Hassan Jarso who pleaded guilty when charged in May.<\/p>\n
Federal court Judge Bahiru Darecha Tuesday sentenced Jarso to 17 years in prison. <\/p>\n
Eleven men were originally charged with the terror-related crimes but one was acquitted. Six of the men were sentenced in absentia.<\/p>\n
The sentences come amid signs of increasing militancy in the East African nation. <\/p>\n
Ethiopian troops moved into Somalia in 2011 to fight the Islamist extremist rebels, al-Shabab.<\/p>\n
Ethiopia’s intelligence agency said early January that 15 people were arrested as alleged members of a terror cell linked to al-Shabab.<\/p>\n
