A French court has jailed 25 alleged Islamist militants for planning attacks in France in support of Chechen rebels.
The five top defendants received 10-year jail terms, while the others were jailed for six months or more.
Two more defendants were acquitted.
Prosecutors said the group's intended targets included the Eiffel Tower, the Halles shopping centre, police stations and Israeli interests.
The group was accused of "jihad" links with Chechen militants fighting Russia.
