DÜSSELDORF, Germany — Prosecutors yesterday demanded jail terms of up to eight years for four Arab men accused of planning to bomb Jewish targets in Germany under orders from al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Prosecutor Christian Monka said three of the men were members of a terrorist organization that planned to attack two restaurants in Düsseldorf, Germany, and a community center in Berlin. The fourth is accused of helping them.

Evidence in the long-running trial, which started in February 2004, includes wiretapped conversations in which Jordanian Zarqawi, using code words, discusses with group members the state of preparations for the attacks.

Wait, I thought we weren't fighting international terrorism in Iraq?

Only 8? If there had been deaths, wonder what the sentence would be?
