From Times Wire Reports
An Algerian was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison for acting as a banker for and giving logistical support to Algerian terrorists who bombed the Paris subway in 1995.
Rachid Ramda was the subject of a 10-year extradition fight with Britain, which handed him to France in December.
At the start of his trial last month, Ramda proclaimed his innocence and expressed sympathy for victims of the string of attacks in the Paris Metro, which killed eight people and injured more than 100. He refused to participate further in the trial.
