Dakar (AFP) – The alleged leader of a jihadist cell was handed a 20-year term with forced labour Thursday in Senegal’s largest terror-related trial, which also saw 14 other suspects acquitted.
The Dakar court handed the term to Makhtar Diokhane, described in court as the group’s “ringleader,” while Alioune Ndao, who had been accused of acting as coordinator, received a suspended one-month sentence for possessing a weapon without authorisation.
