Three Britons, an American and two Kenyans accused of smuggling money into Somalia to ransom two ships hijacked last month were jailed yesterday by a court in Mogadishu for illegally bringing cash into the country and landing without correct papers. They were carrying US$3.2 million in cash. Two of the Britons were sentenced to 15 years in prison and fined US$15,000. The others were sentenced to 10 years and fined US$10,000.
