A German court sentenced a 31-year-old Tunisian to ten years in prison Thursday for planning a foiled biological bomb attack with the deadly poison ricin.

Islamic State sympathiser Sief Allah H., 31, was found guilty of producing a biological weapon and of planning a serious act of violent subversion, German news agency DPA reported, citing the higher regional court in Duesseldorf.

His German wife Yasmin, 43, stands accused of helping him build the bomb, but is now being tried separately after the court accused her defence lawyers of attempting to protract the case with a 140-page statement on Thursday.

The couple "wanted to create a climate of fear and uncertainty among the German population," judge Jan van Lessen was quoted by DPA as saying on Thursday.
