A Paris court has convicted seven men suspected of links to a cell recruiting fighters for Iraq on terrorism charges.
The judge has given the men sentences ranging from an 18-month suspended sentence to seven years in prison. The charge is for "criminal association with a terrorist enterprise."
All have denied having links to a formal Iraq recruitment cell. The man accused of being the cell's ringleader was handed a six-year prison sentence in Wednesday's ruling.
Five of the suspects are French and two are from North Africa.
