KUWAIT, Sept 27 (KUNA) -- The Criminal Court postponed looking into the "terrorist cell" case, in which 26 defendants are involved, to October 11 for further questioning of the accused.
The court had held its first hearing on August 16 to examine the case sent to it by the Court of Appeals.
On January 12, 2016, the criminal court sentenced two of the defendants, the first and the 23rd one on the list of defendants in the terrorist cell, to death, while one of the accused in the 26 member cell was given a sentence of life imprisonment.
Other accused defendants in the case received sentences from five to ten to 15 years in prison.
In September 2015, the public prosecutor lodged criminal charges against the terrorist cell known as the "Al-Abdali Cell," in which 26 defendants were put on trial over possession of huge caches of weapons and ammunition, as well as espionage for Iran and Hezbollah. (end) amn.asa.mt
