The Specialized Penal Court has sentenced two Chadians to death for planning to assassinate Western diplomats including a US consulate staff member.

The preliminary verdicts included jail sentences of between 17 and 22 years for other suspects including four Saudis, five Chadians and one Yemeni. They were all found guilty of following the takfiri methodology that declares other Muslims unbelievers.

The court also found them guilty of declaring Saudi rulers unbelievers and attempting to harm those living in the country.
