Accused thrown out of court in German terrorism trial

Apr 28, 2009, 8:46 GMT

Dusseldorf - One of the four men accused of a major Islamist terrorist plot in Germany was thrown out of court Tuesday for disturbing the courtroom proceedings with interjections. 'I want to go back to my cell,' Adem Yilmaz, 30, a Turkish citizen raised in Germany, called out at the start of the day's proceedings. He was duly ordered out of the courtroom. Yilmaz hugged his co- accused on the way out. He and two German men who converted to Islam are accused of plotting to set off a series of car bombs at US airbases in Germany or at bars frequented by US servicemen. The blasts might have been comparable to Islamist attacks on Madrid (2004) and London (2005). Last week, Yilmaz was sentenced to two weeks' imprisonment for contempt of court after he refused to stand up when the judges entered the courtroom. The two weeks in jail must be served out after the trial, which is expected to last two years, ends.
