A French court on Wednesday sentenced Audrey Mondjehi to a 30-year jail term for “terrorist” plotting in helping a militant who killed five people in a 2018 attack on a Christmas market.

The 42-year-old was the main defendant among four accused of helping Islamist militant Cherif Chekatt, who opened fire at the market in the eastern city of Strasbourg and was killed by police after a 48-hour manhunt. Prosecutors said Mondjehi helped Chekatt obtain a gun for the attack.
