German court jails two for Iran-backed plot against Jewish leader
A Hamburg court sentenced a Danish national to eight and a half years and an Afghan national to four and a half years for plotting, on Iran's behalf, to assassinate Josef Schuster, president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany.
Why it matters
The ruling underscores European concerns about Iranian-linked plots targeting people on their soil.
Background
European authorities have accused Iran of orchestrating plots against dissidents and Jewish targets in Europe, which Tehran has denied. The Central Council of Jews in Germany is the main body representing the country's Jewish community.
